ROMAN CAMP Mušov

The village of Pasohlávky, whose cadastre now also includes the territory of what was once the village of Mušov, is entirely unique within the whole Czech Republic as regards the volume and quality of archaeological sites and finds discovered. A great deal of explorative work was done during archaeological rescue excavations, which have been carried out here prior to construction of reservoirs in the 1970s and 1980s.

On former cadastral territory of Mušov we know of 28 archaeological sites, and from Pasohlávky 21 sites are known. Graves, settlements or stray finds from as good as all prehistoric periods were discovered here. It can thus rightly be said that the history of this village is several millennia old.

No matter in which part of this territory you are moving about, whether in the built-up area, in the recreation area, or on the shore of the reservoir, everywhere you are surrounded by traces of former inhabitants – the last hunters and gatherers, the first agriculturalists, people of cultures with contracted burials, the belligerent Germans or the earliest Slavs.
