The paper summarizes the archaeological evidence of the contacts of the end of the 6th and 7th centuries in Bohemia and creates a new image of the symbols of the elites in the territory of Bohemia based on the metal accessories of the costume (buckles, bracelets, belts). Long-distance contacts are more intense with the Southeast and the East and the functioning of the Silk Road can be documented as far as the Caucasus region at least (Ledvice). The society of the inhabitants of the Bohemian basin in the 6th and 7th centuries was obviously much more stratified than earlier Czech research has assumed.
