On the Development of Anoikonyms (Minor Place Names) in Opava Region since World War II The paper deals with the development of anoikonyms in four villages in the Opava region following the expulsion of citizens of German nationality, after land consolidation in individual four co-operative farms and then after the integration of these originally independent farms into one great agricultural unit. Special attention is paid to the usage of the anoikonyms at present, when large (up to one hundred hectares) tracts of land were formed and when only a fragment of the former number of people works in agriculture. These are mainly tractor drivers, servismen, leading organization workers. The number of people who need the anoikonyms in their communication is therefore very limited. Among others, the author answers the question which names are given to the new pieces of land by the remaining private farmers. Special attention is paid to the names of forests and meadows. Also the question is dealt with how the new anoikonyms preserve the phonologic and morphologic character of local dialects. The author comes to the conclusion that at present, only a negligible number of old tract names is being used and that the new anoikonyms are formed according to one model: the two-word prepositional names using both the personal names indicating farmhouses of the respective persons, and the important orientation points.

A cremation grave of the Roman period was found in a stone quarry at Steborice near Opava before the year 1900. The grave equipment consisted of a wheel-made urn, a two-edged sword, a pair of ornamented spurs with asymmetric arms, a spearhead with octagonal socket, a scissors, a knife, a handle of probably wooden bucket and an iron mount with two rivets (most likely a shield boss fragment). The grave corresponds to above-standard equipped warrior graves of the Przeworsk culture and can be dated to the C1b stage of the Late Roman Age, to the first half of the 3rd century in absolute dating. Regarding its chronology, it is younger than the cremation burial ground at Vavrovice nearby that was used in the very beginning of the Late Bronze Age (B2/C1 and C1a). The both sites with cremation burials are clearly proving the Opava seat region being a part of the Przeworsk culture territory, of which the occurrence of rather numerous graves containing weapons in the period after the Marcomannic Wars and in the first half of the 3rd century is typical.
