The analysis of the artistic expression of the population of the Únětice culture was carried out assuming that the style is expressed through various media. Due to different materials, their properties and meth ods of treatment, the effects must differ in obvious ways. However, the idea remains common. Comparing subsequent elements of a culture, we can expect to perceive a set of repeatable features – the paradigms. Hence, the analytical procedure consisted in searching for and classifying similarities. It was carried out in three fields: architecture, artistic expression, and paratheatrical activity. The results obtained indicate that the artistic activity of the population of the Únětice culture was a harmonious whole. Individual types of expression were complementary and in part also resulted from each other.

Rescue excavations at Praha‑Ruzyně uncovered 11 graves belonging to the Únětice culture, yielding 19 skeletons. 13 skeletons belonged to adult individuals, five were younger than adult, and one skeleton could not have been estimated any closer. The skeletal remains were in general in very poor condition (broken and damaged), so that only one of them (a female) could be sexed properly. Metrical evaluation could also have been carried out only selectively.

The author’s chronology of the Únětice Culture (UC) in Central Germany is based on a typological sequence of the cups, the characteristic type fossil of this culture. The typological sequence is based on the position of the handle which in the first stage was directly attached to the rim of the cup and then shifted continuously downwards. Whereas cups with handles attached directly to their rims belonged to the last i.e. third stage of the Bell Beaker culture cups with the distinct position of their handles below the rims characterizing the first stage of the UC in the proper sense. The second stage of the UC is characterized by cups whose handles were attached to the shoulder’s upper offset. Besides the downwards shift of the handles, the height of the cup’s neck increased to the detriment of the shoulder’s height. In the third stage besides the tripartite cups (cups with neck and shoulder), bipartite so called classical cups emerged for the first time. Both shapes were in use side by side without the tripartite cups being replaced by the bipartite ones as has been argued so far. By means of the rims of the cups, the third stage UC3 can be divided into further sub stages: an older one (UC 3a) with cups with funnel shaped rims and a younger one (UC 3b) with cups with rims bent into a horizontal position. Both shapes of rims occurred likewise on tripartite and bipartite cups. Stage 4 cups become less frequent and differ from the older ones in their C shaped rims with downwards bended edges which also occurred on contemporary bowls. On the whole, the stages 1–5 of my UC harmonize largely with the stages already published by Neumann in 1929: that means that Uraunjetitz corresponds with UC 1, Frühaunjetitz with UC 2, Hochaunjetitz with UC 3a and Spätaunjetitz comprises the stages UC 3b–5. Therefore, Neumann’s chronology can be sustained at least to a certain degree.

An Early Bronze Age settlement with an enclosure was unearthed in Brandýs nad Labem in 2007–2016. The settlement pits and the ditch yielded one of the richest collections of Early Bronze Age pottery in the whole of Bohemia. Since the previous knowledge about Early Bronze Age settlements is very poor, the site of Brandýs nad Labem offers a good opportunity to introduce the typology of settlement pottery and to sketch the possi bilities of chronology and their relation to the burials. On the basis of the poor evidence for the classic phase of the Únětice culture and numerous analogies in the Věteřov culture, is it possible to date the ceramic ensemble to the post classic phase of the Únětice culture, which in some cases contradicts the radiocarbon dates.

THE COLLAPSE OF THE ÚNĚTICE CULTURE: ECONOMIC EXPLANATION BASED ON THE “DUTCH DISEASE”

Most explanations of social collapse highlight the ecological strain or the role of economic stratification but they hardly try to establish a link between the origins of prosperity and the causes of collapse. Our purpose is to establish such link, i.e. to provide an explanation of collapse based on the origin of prosperity. For cultures of the Bronze Age, the prosperity came from metalworking, i.e. initially from a mining boom and then to the subsequent activities (bronze production) it allowed. In such context, the collapse can be the result of an economic crisis known in modern economic analysis as the “Dutch Disease”, a term that broadly refers to the harmful consequences of large increases in a country’s income. Such explanation is particularly well suited to spell out the collapse of a Central European Early Bronze Age culture, the Únětice culture (2300-1600 B.C.).
