The seminary emphasises the application of historical archaeology in context of historic preservation. The emphasis is on the specificities of research in complicated situations of city centres, fortified residences and church buildings. These specificities are demonstrated on particular cases of research of heritage site territories and properties in central Moravia. The legislation and procedures on historically preserved properties and territories of the Czech Republic are discussed in context of archaeology and historic preservation. Cooperation with academic and executive organisations of state historic preservation. Protection, rescue and presentation of archaeological heritage are among the questions discussed in the subject. Basic trends of archaeological historic preservation, certified methodics related to archaeology and current projects (the so-called archaeological atlases a. o.). are explained. Besides the historically preserved territories, the seminary focuses on landscape archaeology, on individual categories of heritage sites relicts of archaeological nature in the landscape, on ways of seeking them, on their description, documentation and protection, up to ranking them as a heritage site of local significance, or even declaring them as a cultural heritage site.
