Description The floodplain of the Morava and Dyje Rivers has been settled and used from the Mesolithic period until today. Excavations and surveys yielded evidence of settlement and funerary activities mainly on sandy elevations – dunes. The space between these elevations has been considered uninhabitable and unusable, above all due to clayey and loamy fluvial sediments, which have until recently been periodically flooded. This recent experience has strongly influenced the perception of the character of 9th century environment, which gave rise to several fortified centres of the Great Moravia.
