At first glance, the archaeological record of Moravia has been
quite visible in the Anglophone world. Bits and pieces of this
record have repeatedly made headlines in both the general and the
specialized press for close to a century. First, it was the
discovery of a mass grave of some 21 individuals found at the Upper
Paleolithic site of Pfedmosti, then the oldest evidence for ceramic
technology reported in the first quarter of this century in the
Illustrated London News. Later on, the site of Petfkovice, dating
some 23,000 B. P. , produced evidence for the oldest burning of
coal for fuel, while more recently the New York Times informed us
that imprints in clay at Pavlov I attest to the oldest evidence for
the making and use of textiles. This list of cultural innovations
documented from Moravia can be expanded to include the use of
ground stone technology to make stone pendants (e. g. , at
Pfedmosti), oflarge ground-stone rings whose use remains enigmatic
(e. g. , at Bmo II, Predmosti, and Pavlov I)-but which if found in
more recent contexts would pass as querns-as well as of possible
needles (again at Predmosti).
