Josef Ladislav Píč

Josef Ladislav Píč (19 January 1847 in Mšeno near Mělník – 19 December 1911 in Prague) was a Czech archaeologist and paleontologist, one of founders of modern Czech archaeology.

Píč created and maintained collection prehistoric artefacts.

His major literary work was Starožitnosti země české (1899–1909), in three parts, about ancient history of Czech lands.

Exhaustion, conflicts with colleagues about his work and involvement in fights over validity of Rukopis královédvorský a zelenohorský drove him to suicide.
