Abstract
More than 40 logboats are known from the Czech Republic, and at least 20 are preserved in repositories or regional museums (seven in Moravia, 13 in Bohemia). Two further vessels remain in situ. Many logboats are known from neighbouring countries, but until recently vessels from the Czech Republic have not attracted the same research interest. Only five Czech vessels (two from Bohemia and three from Moravia) have been dated by absolute methods. Several more have been assigned tentative dates on the basis of context or close similarity to other dated vessels. This article presents a summary of current evidence.

This research greatly benefited from the kind co‐operation of the Czech museums and repositories holding logboats and remains. Radiocarbon dating carried out in 2007 was made possible by the Department of Archaeology of the University of Exeter. Radovan Frait provided information on the Příkazy logboat, the only vessel I was unable to examine personally.
