| Description | When criminals flee, they try in every way to cover their tracks. Stolen items may end up hidden in rather unlikely places, in the hope that they will never be found—sometimes even in a cesspit. Perhaps such a story lies behind the medieval latrine of the Silver House in Jihlava, where archaeologists discovered equipment used for minting coins. What is the story of coin minting in medieval Jihlava? Are we witnessing the rash actions of fleeing medieval counterfeiters? And what mystery did the soil investigation of the same house reveal? Archaeologist Šimon Kochan uncovers this tricky case of archaeological finds in one of Jihlava’s oldest houses together with art historian Ivan Foletti and archaeologist Jiří Macháček in the 60th episode of Středověk (jinak). |
