The collection comprises contributions delivered at the colloquium "The Castle as a Technical Issue. Technologies and Forms in the Construction of Mediaeval Fortified Settlements", held at the end of 2007 at the Moravian Museum, Brno, with the participation of archaeologists, architects, anthropologists, and heritage experts. Besides covering the building and historical development of castles, the contributions also concentrate on details of everyday life in mediaeval castles, people's diets, and armour. Much of the attention is dedicated to the context of Skály (Štarkov) Castle near Jimramov. Further contributions involve castles at Cimburk, near Městečko Trnávka and Újezd u Kunštátu, the Silesian-Ostrava Castle, and the Nosislav stronghold.

A further Supplementum in the Dissertationes Archaeologicae Brunensis/Pragensesque series presents contributions by doctorate students of anthropology, archaeology, ethnology, and geological science, the outcomes of the Moravian-Silesian School of Doctorate Studies II grant. All contributions were produced as part of dissertation work done by the authors and were presented at a regular doctorate seminar in Brno. The articles centre upon theoretical issues and also supply the results of material studies. In chronological terms, the studies focus on the Palaeolithic, Neolithic and Hallstatt Age, the early Middle Ages, the Middle Ages, the modern age and the 19th century. The collection brings together approaches of the humanities and natural science to the study of both movable and immovable cultural monuments.
