AB The interpretation of archaeological excavations with Early Medieval contexts in Central Bohemia has problems relating to vessel description and chronology. This region is generally connected with pottery types used in the central Prague area. The long lasting intensive settlement at Mala Strana yielded numerous detailed stratigraphies, which form a basis for the relative chronology depicted in sections on a pottery-stratigraphical chart for each excavation. For this article only such research excavations were selected, which included a stratigraphy with absolutely datable finds. A long lasting aim for linking the relative pottery chronology with absolute dating leads to its comparison with dendrochronological and the radiocarbon method. The need for a detailed orientation in the Early Medieval pottery is given by the use of pottery fragments as an omnipresent phenomenon also in connection with so called large history around the outset of the Bohemian state.
