Health reconstruction of individuals buried in settlements and graves in Early Bronze Age based on pathological traces on skeletons
Pankowská, Anna ; Smrčka, Václav (advisor) ; Salaš, Milan (referee) ; Horáčková, Ladislava (referee)
An increase in the diversity of Early Bronze Age (EBA) burial practices is well documented in central and southern Moravia between 2200-1500 BC. Apart from scarce cremations and pithoi burials, two more frequent parallel burial types appear. One is the standard burials in cemeteries, the other burials in settlement pits, the latter considered a deviation until recently. Thanks to recent excavations and new quantification procedures, however, abundance of settlement burials as well as uniformity and predictability of body deposition and grave equipment in pit burials has been shown. My intention is to show the existence of two parallel burial rites on the basis of bioarchaeological and archaeological evidence. I focus on the reconstruction of health and social status of individuals buried in settlement pits and graves. I observe the amount of demographic variability, diseases and trauma within each group. I suppose the distribution of diseases according to age, sex and archaeological record will be similar within each of the groups. As a result, we may speak about two equivalent burial practices. If deviations are encountered within settlement pits, however, we should speak about deviations or burials determined for a minority and homogeneous segment of population. Skeletons originate in two...

Movements of ploughing blocks at the Čertova louka site (Krkonoše Mts) in 2009-12
Horáčková, Lenka ; Engel, Zbyněk (advisor) ; Šobr, Miroslav (referee)
Present researches of ploughing blocks deal with a recent blocks' activity issue and with causes of movement of the blocks downslope. Research at Čertova meadow has measured changes of boulders' locations in period 2009 - 2012, processes of undersurface temperature and dependence of movement on mass of the boulder and snow cover layout. Triennial research didn't prove the movement of boulders dependence on mass of boulder, however it showed dependence depth into which boulders are embedded in the soil and height of the boulder above terrain. Annual changes of boulders' movement were irregular. The overall assessment in period 2009 - 2012 showed that more than half of the boulders were in correspondence with vertical and horizontal direction of movement downslope. For confirmation of the movement of boulders it is necessary to carry out long- term measurement. Key words: ploughing blocks, periglacial environment, East Krkonoše Mts.

In its theoretical part the thesis defines fundamental themes and concepts based on literature, especially according to Pierre Bourdieu, Dick Hebdige and Michel Foucault. The concept of life-style has gained much importance in contemporary society, because it's actually the style of life which has become the most important principle of social clustering. One of the first sociologists to reflect on the concept of life-style was Pierre Bourdieu. His conception of life-style is based on stratification and social inequalities. These inequalities are - according to Bourdieu - the product of deep structural inequalities underlying the society as a whole. The thesis also concerns with style as intentional communication, hegemony and resistence as perceived by Dick Hebdige. The body and the process of moulding it into the shape of disciplined bodies is the subject of another part of the thesis. Further on the thesis deals with the problem of body and masculinity, and above all with the process of building its image in the media. Two types of masculinity are defined; first hegemonic...
