Hunter-gatherer Archaeobotany: Central European Mesolithic
PTÁKOVÁ, Michaela
This thesis focuses on Central European Mesolithic from the perspective of environmental archaeology. Based on analysis of plant macrofossils, it examines potential plant component of Mesolithic diet. The work further contributes to the knowledge on vegetation history of the area of Český ráj (Czech Republic) and attempts to reveal past plant use and the impact of Mesolithic communities on past environments. This is followed by a discussion concerning transition from hunting and gathering way of life to productive economies using examples of specific landscape units and well defined spatiotemporal scales.
Hunter-gatherer archaeobotany: Central European Mesolithic
PTÁKOVÁ, Michaela
The present work attempts to provide understanding of the issue of Mesolithic archaeobotany, especially in terms of plant use, woodland clearance, and discussion concerning Mesolithic agriculture. Special attention is also paid to taxa occurring within archaeological context at European Mesolithic sites and some methodological implications. Also, specific patterns in food preparation and consumption are considered, particularly with emphasis on certain archaeological features. The thesis also brings new original data from the Czech Republic. In this regard, assemblage from Dvojitá Brána u Rohlin has provided hints towards the study of the Neolithisation process in the Czech Republic, whereas case study from the Schwarzenberg Lake has brought considerable focus on the issue of depositional/postdepositional processes, especially when dealing with shallow sandy sediments. The thesis also strongly reflects the growing need for interdisciplinary work to address issues related to Mesolithic hunter-gatherers.
CHARACTERISTICS OF THE END OF THE MESOLITHIC IN CENTRAL EUROPE BASED ON FINDINGS OF ARTEFACTUAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL ARCHAEOLOGY
PTÁKOVÁ, Michaela
The present work deals with the process of Neolithisation of central Europe with a focus on the territory of the Czech Republic, which is outlined on the basis of a literature review. A further emphasis is placed on the Mesolithic background for the Neolithisation process with respect to the impact of Mesolithic humans on the natural environment, particularly in terms of plant use in the European Mesolithic and its economic and social aspects.
