Folk religiosity during High Middle Ages and Early Modern times as reflected in material culture
Juřinová, Šárka ; Scholz, Stefan (advisor) ; Royt, Jan (referee)
Folk religiosity during High Middle Ages and Early Modern times as reflected in material culture (the example of small ceramic sculpture) This work focuses on study of religious practice and urban everyday life of urban folk groups in Prague Towns from High Middle Ages till Early Modern times. The most common archaeological artifacts reflecting religious practice are small clay figurines found both in urban and in rural environment. These figurines made of fired clay depict in most cases Madonna with Christ-child and various saints, nevertheless profane figurines and various zoomorphic artifacts can be found too. This work is focused mainly on findings of clay figurines obtained during the large archeological excavation on Republic Square in Prague, which offered a unique collection of artifacts dated from 1250 to 1600. Analogies from the Central Europe will be considered in the process of evaluation of the assemblage mentioned above. It is not known exactly what the purpose of these artifacts was and it is still a subject of discussion, into which we will try to bring some new light. Right iconographic interpretation requires a comparation with some other objects of folk religiosity and urban everyday life (such as medallions and other small holy objects, pilgrim signs, pilgrimage pictures,...

Residential structure of the area of a Funnel beaker culture at multiculture settlement at Velké Přílepy.
Juřinová, Šárka ; Dobeš, Miroslav (advisor) ; Popelka, Miroslav (referee)
in English The submitted thesis adresses the processing of material culture from the archaeological excavation in Velké Přílepy (district of Prague-west), where the settlement of Funnel Beaker culture was uncovered. The study is a sequel to my bacheolor's thesis (defended in 2010) which evaluated only one part of the excavated settlement and significantly improves its corpus of finds. Therefore there is now a complete analysis of the whole widespread settlement area in an open position without any fortification. Close to sixty structures were documented and dated (based on ceramic analysis) to the Siřem and Salzmündphase of Funnel Beaker culture on this researched area. Thanks to the excavation, an exceptionally rich collection of ceramic production from the Early Eneolithic period (10 105 pieces altogether) exists. Other settlements belonging to the Funnel Beaker culture in the vicinity of Velké Přílepy are also considered in this thesis. Together with this settlement, they create a unique area of settlements of the aforementioned culture.

A funnel beaker settlement at Velké Přílepy
Juřinová, Šárka ; Popelka, Miroslav (advisor) ; Dobeš, Miroslav (referee)
A large, unfortified settlement in an open position with Funnel Beaker culture in Velké Přílepy (district of Prague - west) represents one of the most important early Eneolithic period sites in Bohemia. Archaeological excavations conducted in 1994-99 uncovered over sixty structures dating to the period of Funnel Beaker culture. This study addresses the processing of a selected group of fourteen structures. On the basis of a detailed evaluation of pottery material, the relevant morphological features were used to classify the local settlement in the Siřem phase of the aforementioned culture. For the purpose of reaching a clearer understanding of the importance of the described location and its inclusion in the broader context of the settlement structure of the early Eneolithic period, the study also includes a general overview of the development of Funnel Beaker culture in Bohemia and Moravia.
