Dvořáček, Daniel ; Klír, Tomáš (advisor) ; Štefan, Ivo (referee)
This Bachelor work is dedicated to the nearest hinterland of early middle age central places - Old Kouřim and Kouřim - St. Georg. One of the few results of this work is collected in catalogue, which summarise all information about archaeological excavations and coincidental discovery. Strong attention is dedicated to surface collections, which were done because of identification of new places. It was important to work with ceramics fragments. There is a summary of results and investigations, which creates today's picture of archaeological research about early medieval hinterland (agglomeration) of Kouřim. This work includes information about other Czech hinterland places as well. Key-words: the Early Middle Ages, Central places, Hinterland (agglomeration), Surface collections, Ceramic analyzes.

Early medieval helmets, armour and shields from Czech lands
Bernart, Miloš ; Sláma, Jiří (advisor) ; Štefan, Ivo (referee)
Presented diploma thesis named "Early Middle Age helmets, armours and shields of the Czech countries" aims to introduce information about Early Middle Age protective militaries. Questions regarding the phenomena mentioned have been neglected so far. Region of the former Czechoslovakia in wider geographic context has been emphasized. Thesis is divided into three individual parts dealing with helmets, armours and shields. As far as the militaries are concerned, especially weapons (see e.g. Košta 2004, týž 2005; Kouřil 2005; Ruttkay 1975, týž 1976) or spurs (see e.g. Kavánová 1976; Bialeková 1977; Profantová 1994) have been taken into account more than the protective fighter's armour. This situation is quite understandable. Weapons and spurs are from the chronological point of view much more sensitive than fragments of armours, helmets or shields. If there is any notice in literature made about fragment of any armour, it is usually only saying that this discovery was made. Fragment of the ringlet armour from Olomouc can be used as an example to illustrate fact mentioned previously (Bláha 2001, 59, obr. 11:6). J. Kudrnáč was the last one who tried to summarize in his dissertation thesis knowledge about the Hillfort period armour and weapons (Kudrnáč 1948). Before him, Salvonic protective armour was studied by...

Grave gifts and the personal equipment of the dead in the early medieval burials and the fade away of this custom
Halašková, Stanislava ; Sláma, Jiří (advisor) ; Štefan, Ivo (referee)
The topic of the bachelor thesis is Grave gifts and personal equipment of the dead in the early medieval burials and the fade away of this custom. The thesis is divided into three parts. First of them is dedicated to the analysis of selected early medieval burial grounds and closer acquainting with singular items of grave's equipment. In the second chapter are these items closely characterized and dated. I have tried in the last chapter to follow the causes of the phenomenon of fading away of the grave's equipment in early medieval burial grounds. The goal of the thesis is to follow the changes in the frequency of occurrence of the items placed into graves on Czech early medieval burial grounds, focusing on singular kinds of grave's discoveries, determination of chronology and interpretation of the causes of the followed phenomenon.

It emphasizes relations of the Czech area and west part of Central Europe. The first part analyzes four new excavations of the Žatec fortification, dist. Louny, especially the excavations in the line of the bailey fortification. The line of young hill fort period fortification of the acropole serves as a basis for further study of the topics in question. The valuable site illustrates many phenomena which are described in the theoretical part. It surveys origins of fortification technologies, their development in the studied period and determines the position of the Žatec fortification in the corresponding context. The study for lack of ceramics focuses mainly on the analysis of stratigraphic situations and compares all available stratigraphic features which come form the excavation of the garden of the Municipal Theatre.

Non-agrarian production in early middle ages. Archeological evidence of metalworking.
Wollnerová, Dorotea ; Štefan, Ivo (advisor) ; Havrda, Jan (referee)
This paper analyzes archeological evidence of metalworking during the period of the Early Middle Ages (i.e. from the 6th to the 1st half of the 13th century) in Bohemia and Moravia. The chronological and spatial development of the evidence will be discussed, which should illustrate the dynamics of the ferrous and nonferrous metallurgy. The main focus lies on the changes in the social context of metal production both in the central and peripheral areas. The basis of the paper is the catalogue evidence and the analysis of the various sites where metalworking took place. The catalogue is based on the data from published literature as well as from the Archeological Database of Bohemia. In the material the sites where some evidence of metalworking was found are included, but finds which were discovered by surface survey were not considered since these can never be fully reliable. Keywords: The Early Middle Ages, non-agrarian production, ferrous metallurgy, colored metallurgy

Drnovský, Pavel ; Klápště, Jan (advisor) ; Štefan, Ivo (referee)
The present study deals with the selected chapters of a medieval settlement in the territory lying along the middle stream of the river Bystřice in northeastern Bohemia. This area is consistent with the surroundings towns Hořice and Miletín. Introductory section evaluates the material and written sources. The main part of the study devoted to the development settlement is divided into several basic sections. Because of declining value of archaeological findings, came mostly from fieldwalking is put emphasis mainly on the study of Early and early Middle Ages. Before 13th century early medieval settlement did not beyond the boundaries old settled area. On several of early medieval settlements is documented continuity of settlement dating back to the 13th century, when most of settlements were abandoned. In the 13th century also were created an absolutely new settlement, which is located near the old sites, or in areas where early medieval sites were not recorded. Most of these sites disappeared at the end of the 13th century or the early 14th century. In the vicinity of these sites we often found present villages.

An early mediaeval cementery by Mlékojedy whittin his regional context
Derner, Kryštof ; Štefan, Ivo (advisor) ; Tomková, Kateřina (referee)
The basis of the presented thesis is a description of an early mediaeval burial ground in Mlékojedy "Nad hřbitovem", which was discovered in the year 2007. Based on the grave goods, it is dated back from the beginnig of the 10th to the half of the 11th century. The relation of the grave goods to anthropological attributes of burried individuals shows namely an increase in ratio of equipped graves up to an early adulthood and then its gradual reduction.The arrangement of a grave was dependent on dating. The grave with an elite female gariture and the grave with weapons are compared with the similar ones discovered in hinterland of the Litoměřice fortification. A regular positioning of burial grounds on the left bank of the river Labe as early as at the beginning of the 10th century shows an early settlement of this area and allows to dicover the extent of the Litoměřice agglomeration.The author of this thesis proposes, that a simultaneous abandoning of the both known burial grounds in the Mlekojedy estates is an evidence for a transfer of the burial grounds closer to a sanctuary located in the center of the contemporary village. Key words Burial ground, early mediaeval, Mlékojedy, Litoměřice distr., 10th. century, 11th. century, earrings, weapons, social topography, history of settlement,...
