AB  - The text, compiled at the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the foundation of the archaeological department for rescue excavations and heritage care in Prague, briefly summarises the conception and development of archaeological heritage management in Prague in the 20th and the early 21st centuries. It reviews current state of research, which dates back to the 1920s with its intensity rising with the building boom in the outstandingly valuable historic centre of this town since the 2nd half of the 1980s. Potential of archaeological research of the earliest history of this exceptional site of European importance is discussed. Special attention is given to the activities of the archaeological department of the Heritage Institute in the Capital of Prague, and its status within this profession.
