Elemental analysis of vehical glass using neutron activation analysis and X-ray fluorescence analysis
Kameník, Jan ; Fikrle, Marek ; Kučera, Jan
Glass microfragments provide valuable information about certain vehicle crimes. The methodology describes application of X-ray fluorescence analysis (XRF) and neutron activation analysis (NAA) of elemental admixtures in vehicle glass fragments. XRF allows rapid and non-destructive test of the sample and helps in selection of protocols for detailed inspections by additional methods. NAA is time demanding, however, has potential to provide robust results for law enforcement agencies. Both methods are described together with protocols of analysis and their variants. The methodology includes results for 80+ vehicle glass samples.

Kmošek, Matěj ; Bláhová, Zuzana (advisor) ; Fikrle, Marek (referee)
This work deals with chemical composition analysis of prehistoric artifacts of copper and copper alloys in Czech lands. It purvey listing of individual methods of natural sciences research together with their capabilities and limitations. Development and current state of chemical compostition analysis is described in this work. Focus of this work is a database of results of chemical composition analysis from Czech and foreign laboratories. Data file in the database is evaluated in terms of geography, chronology and type of artifacts.

Study of Unique Bracelets from Early Bronze Age
Vykouková, J. ; Březinová, Helena ; Fikrle, Marek ; Frána, Jaroslav ; Králík, M. ; Lutovský, M. ; Samohýlová, A. ; Smejtek, L.
This paper aims to assess two unique bracelets from several points of view, including the history of their discovery, their typological and chronological classification, and analysis of the material from which they were made - above all, analysis of the corrosion layers and surviving textile and human skin imprints, as well as questions of conservation.
