The research area is located in the territory of historic Moravia, more specifically in the today's South Moravian and Pardubice Regions. The dense concentration of Roman-period sites in the Mal\u00e1 Han\u00e1 region attests to intensive use of this small enclosed region, protected from the east and west by mountains. When it comes to the sites, especially an early Roman period cemetery known as Jev\u00ed\u010dko IV stands out. During a six-year long archaeological excavation led by doc. E. Droberjar (2010\u20132014 and 2016), 30 graves were excavated and the importance of this site before and probably also during the Marcomannic wars (166-180) was proved. This is attested by grave goods and finds from layers, not only those belonging to the Elbe Germans, but also Roman and East Germanic artefacts (Przeworsk and Wielbark cultures) from a short chronological range. The cremation cemetery was probably linked to a nearby settlement (Jev\u00ed\u010dko II), which is situated 1.5 km south of it. Within the cemetery, remains of two settlements were unearthed as well \u2013 one much earlier \u2013 from the Middle Bronze Age (Middle Danubian Tumulus culture) \u2013 and one somewhat later - from the final Roman period. The Germanic settlement from the C3 phase probably consisted of a farmstead with above-ground buildings. Also, at this late Suebian settlement, numerous Roman and late Przeworsk artefacts were discovered. The whole territory of Hal\u00e1 Han\u00e1 was relatively densely populated by Elbe Germans during the Roman period. The most important period seems to be the time from the mid-2nd<\/sup> century onwards, including the Marcomannic wars. The most northern Roman temporary camp so far was discovered in the cadastral area of Jev\u00ed\u010dko. Apart from this, numerous Roman militaria can be found in Mal\u00e1 Han\u00e1. This proves that a direct military conflict between the Romans and Germans took place there, probably in the final phase of the Marcomannic wars. During the Roman period, Mal\u00e1 Han\u00e1 was an intersection of long-distance routes connecting south with north and east with west, i. e. southern Moravia and the Danube region with eastern and central Bohemia. The Roman invasion from the south and the penetration of the bearers of the Przeworsk culture (Vandals) in the 2nd<\/sup> century and especially at the close of the Roman period from the north, seem to confirm the important role of this region. The Elbe Germanic occupation of Mal\u00e1 Han\u00e1 ended with the departure of the Suebi, who left (probably together with groups of Vandals) the territory of Mal\u00e1 Han\u00e1 at around 400 AD and migrated southwards to the Danube region, then further to the west and finally to Spain and Portugal.\r\n
