In the early Medieval age, in Prague would live a few thousands of people, who would manufacture among others saddles, reins or shields. In the settlement, there would prosper also workshops offering high-quality ceramics and fabrics.
Prague of 10th century was a city of active business. For the safety reasons city walls were essential. The findings of 10th century walls were made close to the Lesser Town Bridge Tower.
The new finding definitely supports the place of origin of Prague, which was at the Vltava River, at the place where is now Charles bridge.
