1. Introduction
The project Partnership in Research and Presentation of
Archaeological Heritage was undertaken by a consortium of
four institutions: The University of West Bohemia (UWB),
Museum of West Bohemia (MWB), Archaeological Centre
in Olomouc (ACO) and Palacký University in Olomouc
(UPOL). The 3-year project ran from 9
th
May 2011 to 30
th
April 2014. The project preparation and implementation
was coordinated by Ladislav Šmejda from the Department
of Archaeology, University of West Bohemia. The managers
from the partner institutions were Milan Metlička (MWB),
Jaroslav Peška (ACO), and Pavlína Kalábková (UPOL).
The overarching aim of the project was to create new,
and bolster the existing, opportunities for cooperation
between partner institutions or their departments involved in
archaeological research and its popularization, as well as cultural
heritage management and preservation. Two universities and
two heritage management institutions joined their resources in
this networking project, which allowed for linking the practical
needs and considerations within the heritage and museum
sector with university education and training. The selection of
partner institutions refected the aim to include two different
regional centres – specifcally Plzeň and Olomouc – which
have a relatively strong standing within the discipline and a
signifcant professional capacity to complement the strength
of traditional research centres positioned in the capitals of
Bohemia and Moravia (Prague and Brno respectively), which
historically make up the Czech Republic. The project design
provided ample scope for developing joint research cooperation
and short-term training programmes and meetings aimed at
knowledge dissemination. These were organized by the staff
of the above-mentioned partner institutions and attended by
university students, researchers and other culture heritage
professionals from a large number of Czech institutions, as well
as by numerous guests from abroad. The implementation of our
plan was divided into fve key activities, representing the main
tools for achieving the project goals.
2. Study visits to partner organisations (key activity #1)
Specialists from all the partner institutions participating in
the project took part in study trips and short internships,
where they became familiar with the practical aspects of the

ABSTRACT
This contribution presents a successful research and educational project, which was completed in 2014
at the University of West Bohemia in Plzeň in cooperation with 3 partner institutions. The project
aimed at fnding innovative ways of collaboration amongst university, museum and culture heritage
management sectors through sharing research and educational resources. This goal was achieved by
joint research activities, mostly realized as feld schools with students’ participation, as well as through
discussion of interdisciplinary topics conducted at educational and dissemination events, namely study
stays, conferences, seminars and workshops.

everyday tasks carried out at the visited institutions and their
individual departments. They participated in feld research
and gained insight into the predominant routines of laboratory
and documentation procedures. An important part of the visits
consisted of extensive use of institutional libraries and feld
reports for pursuing individual research interests, as well as
opportunities to consult particular problems with specialists
from the cooperating institutions. These discussions and
involvement of visitors in the host’s daily agenda led to
effective start-ups of new collaborative research plans and the
strengthening of personal bonds between the professionals
and graduate students of the networked institutions. This
type of inter-institutional collaboration and research support
has already generated new publications (Krištuf
et al.
2012;
Moravcová, Vokounová Franzeová 2012; Baierl
et al.
2013;
Gersdorfová
et al.
2013; Hložek 2013; Hložek, Menšík
2013a, b, c). One of the most remarkable outcomes of this
joint research was an archaeological contribution to the large
published volume presenting the past of the town of Uničov
from the frst human settlements up to the present (Burešová
ed. 2013). This book received the award of the Olomouc
Region for Outstanding Book of the Year. A number of these
collaborative ventures provided opportunities for running
training feld schools and courses for students, which
represented another structural component of the project.
3. Field schools for students (key activity #2)
During the period of project implementation (2011–2014),
25 feld schools of varied length and thematic content
were realised in total for students of archaeology and
related disciplines. These were aimed at obtaining practical
feldwork skills and familiarity with surveying, sampling,
excavating and recording of various types of archaeological
sites (Figure 1). Field reports have been produced for each
conducted campaign and on the basis of these a number of the
results have already been published. Detailed publications
and several larger studies containing extensive amounts of
data are forthcoming and their preparation may be supported
by additional follow-up projects.
Our team covered a broad spectrum of chronological
periods and categories of archaeological sites in order to
offer undergraduate and postgraduate students from several
universities varied stimuli and exposure to feld archaeology.
We were focused on and conducted research on the following
main categories of archaeological heritage:
a) Palaeolithic and Mesolithic landscapes and sites,
namely the Horní Bříza and Jistebsko regions
(Moravcová, Vokounová Franzeová 2012; Moravcová
et al.
2014).
b) The Neolithic enclosure in Křimice.
c) Prehistoric burial mounds, particularly a Late
Eneolithic tumulus cemetery near Dřevohostice in
East Moravia (Krištuf
et al.
2012; Hejcman
et al.
2013), the Middle Bronze Age burial mound Butov
near Stříbro in West Bohemia (Metlička 2014) and to a
minor extent various sites in South Bohemia (Menšík
2013).
d) Intensive survey, an excavated section through the
fortifcation and interdisciplinary research into the
modifcations of the environment by human settlement
at a multi-period stronghold in Plzeň-Hradiště (for an
introduction to the site see Chytráček, Metlička 2004,
224–229). The results of this extremely data-rich
feld project are the subject of detailed forthcoming
publications.
e) Mediaeval castles, keeps and their hinterlands,
e.g.
Liškův Hrad near Mítov, Loket, Tichá, Litice, Skála,
Stod.
f) Human burials from 19
th
and 20
th
centuries in Stříbro.
4. Thematic conferences (key activity #3)
The project planned and organised six conferences with the
aim of strengthening communication among researchers and
aiding the dissemination of their ideas and fndings. The
conference themes covered broad interdisciplinary research
directions as well as narrower, more specialized topics. The
list of events includes:

5. Seminars and workshops (key activity #4)
The planned number of twelve seminars and workshops was
successfully undertaken with an additional seminar which
summarised the results of the project and presented plans
for the future cooperation of the involved institutions. These
meetings were usually smaller in scope than the conferences
described in the previous section, more practically oriented
with numerous hands-on activities, and with plenty of space for
interaction among the participants (Figure 2). Their thematic
range centred on modern approaches in archaeological
practice and spanned from methods of archaeological
prospection such as aerial reconnaissance or metal
detector surveying, through techniques of archaeological
recording (drawing, photography, 3D scanning), laboratory
conservation protocols and analytical methods suitable for
studying archaeological and anthropological materials, to

6. Publication of academic journals (key activity #5)
The project supported the publication of several volumes of
archaeological journals “
Interdisciplinaria Archaeologica
”
(the project directly fnanced the printing of volumes II/1,2,
III/1,2, IV/1,2) and “
Archeologie západních Čech
” (The
Archaeology of Western Bohemia – volumes 2–7) and one
Supplement volume of the latter journal (Dobeš, Metlička
2014). Thanks to this support the new journals became well-
established periodicals and acquired a solid reputation in
professional and academic circles (Figures 3–4). Both new
journals were accepted by the State Cabinet Committee
for Research and Innovation on the offcial list of the
Czech scientifc peer-reviewed journals. Interdisciplinaria
Archaeologica has been included in Ulrich’s Periodicals
Directory and recently started to be indexed in Scopus.
7. Project impact and outlook
The general aim of the project was to establish and
broaden cooperation between universities and institutions
involved in culture heritage management, presentation
and popularization in archaeology. More specifcally, we
aimed to link up the demands of everyday archaeological
practice in non-academic institutions with the possibilities
of universities in terms of the more effective use of the
human resources and technical equipment of all of the
involved partners. This specifcally involved collaborative
work on joint research and dissemination of sub-projects
where participants from various backgrounds could meet,
exchange ideas and contribute with their own expertise. The

implementation and budgeting of the individual tasks were
guided by the structuring of the entire project into the fve
key-activities described above.
Participation in the project, the study visits and
cooperation throughout the implementation of the activities
had signifcant positive effects on the dissemination of
knowledge in the professional community as well as among
students of archaeology and related disciplines. The project
team was recruited from four institutions of a different
specialization and infrastructural background. The team size
fuctuated at around 25 people, all with part-time contracted
involvement in the project. Those members of the project
team who were in the early stage of their career particularly
benefted from the opportunities offered: funding of study
stays, participation in feldwork, availability of a high-end
3D laser scanner, purchase of expensive equipment for

geodetic measurements, photographic documentation and
laboratory treatment of archaeological fnds, covering the
costs of specialized analyses and measurements, networking
with their peers at workshops and domestic as well as
international conferences, etc. The numbers of participants
at the events organised by the project always exceeded our
expectations. We take this as a sign that the themes and
activities included in the 3-year programme designed for the
project were timely and attractive for students and interested
professionals from various institutions. The journals which
were supported by the project for nearly three years have
defnitely become popular and widely regarded as ranking
among the standard professional periodicals in the Czech
Republic and beyond.
Because of the nature of this project, due attention was paid
to public outreach and popularization of its key activities.
Basic information and programmes of the individual events
were advertised online (http://www.kar.zcu.cz/partnerstvi.
php), printed invitations were posted to relevant institutions
and displayed throughout all the partner institutions. The web
page has been providing new information about the project
and its activities, as well as about the educational seminars,
workshops and conferences organised through and by the
project. The website will remain accessible to the public and
continue to provide general information about the completed
project. It forms part of the project benefciary web pages
of the Department of Archaeology, Faculty of Philosophy,
University of West Bohemia in Plzeň. The archaeological
sites which were studied in detail by survey and excavation
(Plzeň-Hradiště, Dřevohostice and Butov near Stříbro) now
feature educational signposts with information about the
research undertaken there and their cultural signifcance.
The strategies set out for the project have a clear relevance
for future archaeology in the Czech Republic as well as
internationally. We hope that with the Partnership for
Archaeology project we have embarked, in various ways, on
a new, more effective and more inclusive, path of responsible
high-quality archaeological research and cultural heritage
management, which will be built upon and developed further.

Ladislav Šmejda, project manager.
His main specializations include mortuary, landscape
and spatial archaeology, with a focus on prehistoric
archaeology and the Bronze Age. He is currently studying
Early Bronze Age mortuary practices in Central Europe
and leading interdisciplinary research which follows up on
and processes the data collected at a prehistoric and early
historic fort of Plzeň-Hradiště in the Czech Republic. With
an interest in human adaptability, social change and past
communication, he has focused on exploring these problems
in the context of past settlement patterns and the archaeology
of death and burial. He promotes exploring the potential
of interdisciplinary research for the understanding and
explanation of social development and cultural change.
