Lubor Niederle (1865–1944) is a famous Czech archaeologist and Slavic historian, author of the fundamental work “Humanity in Prehistoric Times,” which outlines the archeology of all of Europe from the Paleolithic to the Middle Ages inclusive. In addition, Niederle is the author of the multi-volume work “Slavic Antiquities”, the second part of which - “Life and Culture of the Ancient Slavs” - is presented in this book. Based on carefully studied objects of material culture and using data from history, philology, ethnography, and anthropology, Niederle created a genuine encyclopedia of the history and culture of the ancient Slavs, a work distinguished by high scientific rigor and objectivity.
