When repairing Terronská Street in Bubeneč, Prague (Czech Republic), archaeologists discovered artefacts from the Early Bronze Age. The most interesting is the ceramic mould of the lower part of a leg. Such a discovery is believed to be unique in the Czech Republic. Archaeologists have uncovered 14 pits in total. In one of them they found a skeleton that dates back to 1,400 years BCE, and more than a dozen undamaged items that are currently being examined. It is possible that other pits are hiding additional discoveries.
     "Apart from a human skeleton, a fragment of a mould used for bronze casting was discovered, the dig has also brought to light a ceramic mould of the lower part of a leg, from the shin down," said  Michal Bureš from the company Archeo Pro. The 'shoe' has a filigree ornamental decoration, and according to M. Bureš it provides archaeologists with information on how people dressed themselves at this time. Archaeologists will spend about 20 days at the site.
