AB The life story of St. Agnes of Bohemia belongs to themes, which have been reviewed by internal medievalists from various angles. Also archaeology with its research methods aimed mainly at matters connected with the site of her life - the area of the monastery Na Františku in Prague. From scientific approach peripheral, but from public point of view pertinent, is the question of her missing bodily remains, which were sought after at numerous sites in our country since the early times. This article summarises results of recent archaeological investigations for the remains of this Bohemian Saint in the Prague church of St. Haštal in 2010, with explanations of circumstances preceding this project. Description of methodology together with the analysis of finds situations supplements a short introduction into archaeological research and building history of the monastery and the site of excavation.
