Centralizační a decentralizační procesy 14. - 4. století př. n. l. na Moravě

Golec Mírová, Zuzana

The forthcoming dissertation deals with the study of centrality and, in particular, the topic of elite chiefdom societies in the period from the 14th to the 4th centuries BC in Moravia (Czech Republic). It presents a collection of seven studies on this topic, published separately or with co-authors. Each of the case studies offers different approaches, combining not only archaeological data but also, in collaboration with natural sciences (e.g., analytical chemistry, radiocarbon dating, archaeological theories, etc.), attempting to provide the most comprehensive view of society in the period under review. The thesis gradually guides us through the theory of deposition, the theory of elites, burial and deposit contexts, and finally the complex issue of luxury workshops. The final synthesis of all the data represents only a basic overview of the issues of the period in question, but it greatly helps to understand the diversity and complexity of the elite societies of the Bronze and Iron Ages and thus also to discuss socio-economic transformations and centralization and decentralization processes. Keywords Society; methodic; chiefdom systems; elites; centralization processes; Moravia; Late and Final Bronze Age; Hallstatt Period; Early La Tène Period; case studies.
