Teplá Skála Housing estate
The warm rock is an archaeological site located on a rocky ridge west of the Klatovy village. This site, dated into the eneolite, was a key settlement of the Champ culture. Its archaeological traces are protected as a cultural monument and represent an important element for understanding the life of our ancient ancestors.
Discover The warm rock dates back to the beginning of the 20th century when Adolf Šlégl discovered it. This amateur archaeologist carried out several probes on the site from 1900 to 1907 which laid the foundations for further study of this site. In 2005, important excavations took place, bringing new knowledge of the structure and environment of the settlement.
Architecturally, the Hot Rock is characterized by non-olithic houses built on rock platforms. The construction of these structures used wooden rods with a diameter of three to six centimeters, suggesting an advanced technical knowledge of their creators. Among the materials used in the constructions, there was also evidence of rare printed wood which was used for the production of weapons and small objects due to its hardness.
Interesting Warm rocks are archaeological findings, which include ceramic fragments decorated with a double navel, shards of ceramics from the culture of spherical amfor and stone arrow made probably from the Bavarian cornea. The finding of the grain of the two-way wheat was dated into the Latin culture, which may indicate a later activity on the site.
The warm rock is part of a collection of three non-olithic settlements around the Kaliste, which together represent important evidence of the existence of the Champ culture in this area. This site is not only an archaeological treasure, but also a place that allows us to reach the depths of time and understand the life of our far-reaching ancestors.
Today, the Hot Rock is a protected cultural monument and is worth visiting not only for archaeologists, but also for any curiosity. Its historical significance and wealth of found artifacts are a valuable element for understanding the ancient past of our region. Visiting this location is not only a learning experience, but also an opportunity to appreciate and respect the historical roots of the Czech people.
The warm rock reminds us of the importance of protecting and studying our archaeological monuments. Its discoveries enrich our knowledge of life in eneolithic and provide valuable information for future generations. Visit this site to dive into ancient times and appreciate the wealth of history our country offers us.
