Activity: The IAP covers all areas of the study of archaeological source material not only in the Czech Republic but also abroad, starting from the fieldwork, through the analysis of the material remains, for example, within the context of archaeological cultures, to generalising models and concepts of past societies.
Besides the essential primary research, the activities of the IAP scientific teams are also directed to the field of applied research. In particular, such activities primarily aim at the long-term provision and development of the branch infrastructure, ensuring the archaeological heritage care, and the obligations of the IAP arising from Act No. 20/1987 Coll., On state monument care. Moreover, the IAP manages the most extensive branch library in the Czech Republic and makes it accessible to professional archaeologists, researchers, students and the general public.
Communication with the general public at the level of presentation of the scientific work results, or the provision of information related to the protection of archaeological heritage form an essential segment of the IAP activities.
The IAP research is embedded in a broader perspective both in terms of information obtained and theoretical background, as well as methodology
