City of Hostivice

Hostivice  is a town in Prague-West District in the Central Bohemian Region of the Czech Republic. It has about 9,100 inhabitants.

The territory of Hostivice has been inhabited since prehistoric times. Residential houses of cultures with linear ceramics and with pierced ceramics come from the younger Stone Age (Neolithic). An important find is the settlement of the culture of funnel-shaped cups from the Late Stone Age in the locality below STS (today's streets Za Zahradami and V Uličce). From the Bronze Age, a burial site of the Úneat culture and an extensive settlement of the Knovíz culture were discovered in Palouky. The Hallstatt culture from the Early Iron Age was explored, for example, in the locality under STS, and an important village of the Late Late and Roman culture with iron furnaces was located near Palouk. Objects used by people during the migration of peoples and the oldest Slavs are also recorded.
