Abstract:
In 2020, during the construction of a sump in the eastern neighborhood of the Church of the Nativity of the Virgin Mary in Holubice, the remains of an extensive pyrotechnic device were uncovered. During the research, the device was interpreted as a lime kiln, later the designation was refined to a pit pile for burning lime. Other parts of the building found in 2021 and 2023 made it possible to reconstruct the form and dimensions of this interesting technical monument. The dating based on ceramics was supplemented by radiocarbon analysis, which puts the object in a possible connection with the construction of the neighboring church, dated to the first third of the 13th century.
