The South Bohemian town of Český Krumlov, a UNESCO world heritage site, the former residence of the noble family of the Rosenbergs, is a unique mirror of the Bohemian Renaissance and Baroque. Extremely rich archives, maintained by both the town and the nobility, were for a long time the only sources providing evidence about the everyday life during the period of the town’s highest prosperity. Thanks to developing post-medieval archaeology and rescue excavation conducted in South Bohemia over the last three decades, the original collection of archive documents was substantially enriched by a wide range of archaeological resources – artefacts and ecofacts. The archaeological excavation at a filled up well at house no. 55 in the area known as Latrán was the subject of interdisciplinary interest from the very beginning. The result of the joint research has become a probe into a burgher household, the rich inventory of which demonstrates that the early modern lifestyle was established in a wide range of both dish-ware (artefacts from glass and pottery) and meals (osteological materials and plant macro remains ). The answers to the questions as to what and from what the townspeople ate and drank from on the threshold of modern times reflects the origins of modern consumer society in southern Bohemia.
