摘要：This research aimed to compare different sources of botanical material obtained from the infill ofMigration Period graves (Vinařice group, 5th century and the turn of 5th and 6th century AD) in PragueZličín during 2005–2008. From a total number of 173 excavated graves with 176 burials, 74 weresampled for archaeobotanical analyses, and these are the subject of this contribution. All of theresearched graves were robbed shortly after the time of burial. The archaeobotanical approach wasapplied through three methods: macroremains analysis; anthracology – xylotomy; and pollen analysis.The samples had low densities of plant macroremains, and contained many residuals and contaminantswhich had penetrated the graves’ infill. Only a fragment of the pollen samples was positive. Knowledgeabout the penetration of intact features by earlier and later plant remains was of major importance inthe development of the methodology used for this research in the graves.
