Czech HistoryTell of Bubeneč reveals oldest evidence of ploughing in the Czech lands
The Prague district of Bubeneč, in the bend of the Vltava river, is a
quiet, mostly residential part of town, and a scene of continuous
archaeological discoveries. People have been living in the area since at
least the 5th millennium BC, when the phenomenon of agriculture began to
spread through Central Europe. Only last year the district made the

ancient Corded Ware culture. Now archaeologists working on the site of the
new Canadian embassy have found what appears to be the earliest use of
agricultural ploughing in the Czech lands. In this episode of Czech
History, Christian Falvey speaks with Petra Maříková Vlčková, one of
the members of the archaeological team. More
