The centre of Europe, the territory of the today's Czech and Slovak Republics, was christianized sometime at the end of the 8th or at the beginning of the 9th cent. From this time stem solitary finds of churches. The main assemblage of architecture dates to the time span between the 1st half of the 9th and the middle of the 11th cent. We know of about 30 such buildings, mostly of banal building types and scales. The only exceptions are three basilicas, one building with three apses, and one with transept. A scientific interest in early medieval architecture is to be traced back to the end of the 19th cent. in Bohemia, from the beginning of the 20th in Moravia, and since the 1920s/1930s in Slovakia. The excavation methods have undergone changes from a heritage conservation survey, through the methods of prehistoric excavation to the current approach that makes use of modern geodetic and geophysical methods, building technology, and natural sciences.
