Metal Finds in Western Anatolia in Second Millennium B.C.
Roháček, Miloš ; Pavúk, Peter (advisor) ; Pieniążek, Magda (referee) ; Kozal, Ekin (referee)
While recent research has started to focus more on the subject of metal finds and metallurgy in Western Anatolia in Bronze Age, there is currently no comprehensive work that provides a typological, contextual, chronological, and regional analysis of published metal finds dated to the second millennium BC. Hence, this study was undertaken with the aim of gathering all known metals from various sites and subjecting them to a comprehensive analysis. One of the objectives is to explore the potential regional variations in metal finds and attempt to identify unique types of discoveries. This premise draws from the author's previous master's thesis, which followed a similar approach along the western Anatolian coast. This doctoral dissertation contributes to advancing our knowledge of metal finds from the 2nd Millennium B.C. In total, 1,286 metal objects from across Western Anatolia were collected from the literature. This diverse collection includes a wide range of items, from prestigious weapons like swords and spears (mostly found on the coast in graves) to the smallest metal tools and simple jewellery (with accumulations in settlements and modest inland graves). Consequently, it was concluded that the finds exhibit a strong Anatolian character in the inland regions of Western Anatolia, distinct from...

Metallurgy along the East Aegean-West Anatolian Interface in the Second Millennium B.C.
Roháček, Miloš ; Pavúk, Peter (advisor) ; Bouzek, Jan (referee)
(in English): This thesis aims at collecting, cataloguing and analysing bronze objects from the area of the East Aegean-West Anatolian Interface in the second millennium B.C. Based on closer typological assessment and comparanda, the question of eventual local specific production along the Interface, different from the Aegea or Eastern Mediterranean, is being investigated here. From up to 217 collected items, indeed many types of bronzes, especially swords, razors and spearheads indeed show a set of specific features. Also, the characteristic of bronze metals differs in Lower Interface with stronger minoan-mycenaen influnce from items in Upper Interface which seems to be following more anatolian features.

Roháček, Miloš ; Bouzek, Jan (advisor) ; Pavúk, Peter (referee)
(in English): The aim of this bachelor is a survey of weapons and warfare in the Aegean Bronze Age. The author in each chapter focuses on collecting basic data of weapons and armors from the Bronze Age, and their probable use, including warfare and its significance. The compilation work is based on archaeological evidence collected in the literature and iconographic sources. It is followed by chronological period, focusing on the main locations of that period. In conclusion, the author summarizes the collected knowledge.
