Řepová, Magdaléna ; Macek, Petr (advisor) ; Biegel, Richard (referee)
The subject of this thesis is to assess the work of Pavel Janák, a former chief architect at the Prague castle, who is utterly connected with the period of major modifications and reconstruction at the Prague castle during the years of his architectural supervision in 1936 to 1955. Therefore the main emphasis is to focus on suggested period when Pavel Janák realized several of his major renovations. Studied period gives the author an opportunity to explore Janák's seldom approach to monumental preservation that was closely linked to his professional life. Hence this thesis also demonstrates to what extent the interest in monumental preservation influenced Janák's approach to conservation of historical monuments and architecture as such. Having closely studied available materials and documents from archives, the aim of this thesis is to map Janák's professional life during his residence at Prague castle. Eventually the author elaborates how the relation to monumental preservation changed during Janák's life.

Finds of Early Modern period ceramics from cesspit B at Prague castle
Blažková-Dubská, Gabriela
The following text provides a detail analysis of the assemblage of ceramics from cesspit B, which was built onto the west wall of the southern transept of the Romanesque St. Vitus Basilica at Prague Castle. It is a total of 187 reconstructed vessels – 120 pots, 47 jugs, 9 bowls, 4 lids, 2 pans, 17 stove tiles and 3 miscellaneous objects. On the basis of the comparisons with published collections (Most, Tábor, Strážnice) is possible to date the use of cesspit B to the end of the 15th century and possibly into the first half of the 16th century.
