Finds of Roman-provincial utility ware from Bohemia
Rypka, Luboš ; Musil, Jiří (referee) ; Košnar, Lubomír (advisor)
Tato bakalářská práce se snaží podchytit jednotlivé nálezy římsko-provinciální, tzv. spotřební keramiky v Čechách. Již označení "spotřební" či také často užívaný název "užitková" keramika je ovšem mírně zavádějící a nepřesný. Termínem spotřební keramika lze v užším slova smyslu označit běžnou, většinou nezdobenou keramiku, sloužící mnohdy jen v kuchyňském provozu, k uchování potravin, či k transportním účelům. Tohoto označení je zde použito v širším slova smyslu, podobně jako jej již dříve užili jiní badatelé (Jančo 2003; Jančo 2004, 482; Košnar- Břicháček 1999, 168; Petznek 1998; Petznek 1999; Petznek 2000; Sakař 1978). Měli bychom se spíše držet přesnější názvu římsko-provinciální keramika či keramika římských provincií1 . Ovšem do této kategorie lze zařadit i nálezy terry sigillaty, takže ani tento termín nepostihuje zcela okruh zpracovávaného keramického zboží, i přesto se ale (narozdíl od vlastního názvu bakalářské práce) raději přidržuji neutrálnějšího označení římsko-provinciální či jen provinciální keramika2 , jakkoliv nepřesné toto označení může být. ...

A short history of underwater archaeology is part of this chapter just before the part about shipwrecks. There have been found quite a lot of shipwrecks in the Mediterranean and the Black Sea but only a few of them were properly excavated. The most significant wrecks are those from Yassi Ada, Bozburun and Serce Limani in the Mediterranean, as well as shipwrecks in the Sea of Marmara and Pisa shipwreck on the shores of Crimea. These wrecks are important because of their cargo and in case of Yassi Ada, Bozburun and Serce Limani wrecks also because of the extant hull. The third chapter discuss pottery that was found in northern Black Sea region including the pottery found at the Pisa wreck. The chapter is divided into two sections: 1) glazed pottery, 2) amphoras.

Mačková, Marcela ; Bouzek, Jan (referee) ; Musil, Jiří (advisor)
The subject of this work deals with descripriton of archeological research on emporion Pistiros, which lies close the Plovdiv in west side of Hornothrack lowland along the river Marici. His position had strategic meaning because it presented important join with Aegean sea. In ancient world the town was found by settlers from Thassos and worked as business station. The name of emporion we know because of the stone notice found not far off Roman road station. Archeological researches on this locality have been leading already a lot of years. Czech expedition researched mainly the house number 2., which is with its work structure similar to houses on other localities just like in Olynth or Priéné where we are able to look for parallels. Found material acknowledges not only business but either craft usage of the house. The discovery of large collection of coins which was saved below the floor of the building is prooving this fact. This all happened as a result of invasion of Kelts which has been guessed to cause the ruin of emporion.

Iconography of marine life in Greek and Roman art
Štampachová, Michaela ; Musil, Jiří (referee) ; Ondřejová, Iva (advisor)
The aim of this thesis is to define and to summarize the manner, the context and the meaning of depictions of marine fauna in the Ancient Art from 8th century BC to 5th century AD in the Mediterranean region. Based on remarks of ancient authors and on current secondary literature it compiles and comments on some pieces of Acient Art. Artistic motives with marine fauna were very popular in the ancient times and they can join a wide range of situations and contexts: from attributes of divinities and symbols of marine location to filling ornaments. Their significance was economic, social, as well as mythological and symbolical. The peak of their popularity is represented by black-figure vases, south Italian fish-plates and Hellenistic mosaics. Realistic and ornamental tendencies of style coexisted. While drawing and painting suited better to fish and cephalopods, sculpture flattered dolphins.

Spatial Dynamics of the Population in the Czech Republic, 1989 - 2007
Vobecká, Jana ; Fialová, Ludmila (advisor) ; Musil, Jiří (referee) ; Marty, Pascal (referee)
3 Abstract The aim of the thesis is to describe, analyse and discuss the development of spatial population dynamics in the Czech Republic between 1989 and 2007. Demographic structure and migration, the two components of spatial population dynamics, are analysed using two spatial dimensions, the urban-suburban-rural gradient and the core-periphery region distinction, using quantitative analyses, including gravity regression modelling of migration. The analysis primarily focuses on domestic migration as the main vehicle of spatial population dynamics. It discusses the structure, determinants, and temporal evolution of migration and its consequences on the population structure in different spatial categories. The thesis indicates that suburbanisation has recently become the main factor influencing Czech spatial population dynamics. The key factor determining migration destination is the social status of migrants, whereas age has only secondary importance. However, since Czechs are not very mobile, population dispersal is less large-scale than in Western-Europe. This explains why recent domestic migration patterns have had only a small measurable influence on the social or demographic structures of the population across spatial categories. Key words: suburbanisation, domestic migration, gravity modelling,...
