The Paper on Understanding the Subsistence Manner on the Transition of Neolithic and Eneolithic Age (a Comparative Study between the Western Culture Complex and Regions of Bohemia and Moravia)
Mattová, Sabina ; Popelka, Miroslav (advisor) ; Neustupný, Evžen (referee) ; John, Jan (referee)
The study presented deals with the phenomenon of increased hunting activity on the transition of the Neolithic and Eneolithic Age, the reasons of which have been so far investigated only in regard to environmental conditions of locations. The phenomenon is observed on locations of a wide area of Middle Europe. Nevertheless, there exist locations with prevailing agricultural economy. On the basis of a detailed comparative analysis of the material culture of the Western culture circle and Bohemia and Moravia, the study aims to trace the reflection of the phenomenon in archaeological materials - differences between locations with predominant domestic sources, and locations with predominant wild sources. Alongside, the study deals with a possible environmental impact on increasing hunting tendencies. In order to created a database, a detailed catalogue of locations has been compiled. The catalogue holds the most essential information on material culture with regard to expected agricultural manners. The catalogue also serves as a clue for setting particular indicators of the database, the purpose of which is to organise the data in a comparable form. Subsequently, a descriptive database has been compiled. The database traces the reflection of agricultural base of the individual locations. By means of a...

Archeozoology of the Czech Eneolithic
Kyselý, René ; Horáček, Ivan (advisor) ; Beneš, Jaromír (referee) ; Mlíkovský, Jiří (referee)
This dissertation is a contribution to the understanding of animal history and the relationship between man and animal during the Eneolithic, i.e. spanning the period ca 4500 - 2200 BC. The Eneolithic period differs from the Neolithic in more respects. Traditionally the development of metallurgy (copper) is considered as the primary cause of social economic changes; however Sherratt's theory of a "secondary products revolution" points at the fundamental relevance of a rapid change from the use of primary animal products (meat, skin etc.) to the use of secondary products (milk, wool, labour, mainly yoke) precisely in the period corresponding with the Bohemian Eneolithic. Nevertheless this theory is still being discussed and criticised and, considering possible mosaic nature of the palaeoeconomic situation, it should first be verified at local and regional levels. The author of this thesis analysed in detail ca. 49 500 osteological finds from archaeological settlements in Bohemia, from which ca 13 500 could be zoologically closely determined. Further data were adopted from publications of Czech and Moravian sites (ca. 22 000 finds, from which 11 000 were determinable). This material was subjected to detailed archaeozoological analysis with a unified methodology and techniques covering taphonomy,...

Archaeozoological analysis of South Bohemian Premyslid stronghold et Na Jánu, Netolice
HAUSTEINOVÁ, Tereza
Early-medieval Premyslid stronghold at Na Jánu, Netolice is the subject of systematic archaeological research, that contributes to the research in the history of South Bohemia. The presented archaeozoological analysis deals mostly with the aspects of animal husbandry and wild animal hunting at the Na Jánu stronghold. It supplements other archeological and bioarchaeological papers that reveal the economical workings of this stronghold.

Settlement from the late Bronze Age in Prosmyky
BECK, Tomáš
The thesis reports on processing and follow-up interpretation of the results of excavation, performed in the Lovosice-Prosmyky locality by Mgr. Blažek from the Institute of Archaeological Monuments Preservation of North-West Bohemia in Most. Based on ceramic artefacts, skeleton findings, monolithic floor finish and stone artefacts the dating and partial inclusion into a wider framework of the locality in question was performed. An archeo-zoological investigation has also been performed. All results were compared with those in other selected Bohemian localities. Illustrations and schematic diagrams as well as photographs and detailed ceramic artefacts database are enclosed hereto.

Archaeozoology of the Neolithic of Bohemia
KOVAČIKOVÁ, Lenka
An archaeozoological analysis of the assemblages of animal bones and teeth of Neolithic (Linear and Stroked Pottery cultures; approx. 5500-4200 BC)settlements in Bohemia, provide new elements on the way of life of early farmers. By means of study of animal bones and teeth we can specify the role of domestic and hunting animals in the Neolithic economy, define the herd management strategies for main domestic animals and focus on the environmental reconstruction and investigation of births distribution of domestic animals (for exemple of cattle in the case of this study) through the analysis of the carbon and oxygen isotopic compositions of fossil tooth enamel bioapatite. To achieve these objectives, we can use, except standard archaeozoological methods and stable isotope analysis, more specific procedures, e.g. determination of damaged bones of animals using the ELISA test.

Osteological analysis of horses in slavnik's Libice
VAŇKÁTOVÁ, Martina
The aim of the thesis is the osteological analysis of early medieval bone samples of genus Equus Caballus . The samples found near the surroundings of historical Libice nad Cidlinou (the seat of Slavník{\crq}s family) were analysed using standard methods. Horses` withers height forms the cental theme of this work. All the data concerning the central topic were used to analyse the usage of horses in early medieval times in the Libice Castle area.
