The maps in the Atlas show the spread of prehistoric cultures and location of important European sites from Palaeolithic Age to the end of the pre-Roman Iron Age. The work contains a total of 27 large European and more than 400 smaller, arranged according to time horizons, cultural developments, as well as particularly important and well investigated sites. Citations of the relevant technical literature are given for the sites of the different categories (settlement, fortification, grave find and graveyard, workplace, cult site, hoard etc.) and to all of the cultures. The map legends are in German and the remaining texts are in Czech, German, English and French language.
The idea and the concept of the Atlas originated with university professor Miroslav Buchvaldek, who passed away in 2002. The original information for the maps and the literature about the individual countries have been contributed by more than 80 prehistorians, often specialists for certain time periods. Most of them work in university institutes or other specialised institutions. The editorial compilation of th Atlas took place in context of a partnership betwee. the Archeological Institutes of the Universities of Prague and Vienna.
In view of its considerable chronological and geographical extent, as well as the number of academic contributors from nearly every state in Europe, the Atlas certainly comprises a singular work in the area of Prehistory. it presents and connects the current state of research within the individual countries. In this way, the Atlas offers a picture of the supra-regional overview of cultures and the settlement-historical development of Europe's early period. the Atlas to the Prehistoric Archaeology of Europe will therefore surely be a most welcome and useful reference text for all specialists and students. Beyond this, the Atlas should serve scholars of other human historical disciplines, as well as an archaeologically interested public, with answers to fundamental questions, such as the appearance, spread, and dating of prehistoric cultures in Europe.
