Summary/Abstract: During the years 2013 and 2014, several small scale surface prospections took place on a Late Hallstatt period hillfort Minice in Central Bohemia. Collected set of items is welcomed for its value as chronological or paleoeconomical evidence. Finally, some attention is paid to the evidence of bronze smelting in the surrounding area. Some of the finds and other Late Hallstatt artefacts were also analyzed with XRF spectrometry with quite surprising results.
