Within the framework of the systematization of the description of medieval (or early medieval) sites, Hrdlovka and Zlončice represent two antitheses: the first is a settlement, the second is a burial ground. Their common feature is the topography; both are part of the rural settlement system, without direct spatial links to fortified settlements. Another common feature is their 'commonness,' i.e. the sites do not differ in a number of details from comparable settlements or cemeteries of the period in Bohemia. Since both common and luxury knives have been identified at both these sites, the study clearly indicates that the standard division stronghold = ostentatious and rural site = second-rate is deficient and may be misleading.
