Study of skeletal residues degradation using infrared spektroskoscopy
Vitešníková, A ; Prokeš, L. ; Nývltová Fišáková, Miriam ; Drozdová, E. ; Kouřil, Pavel ; Stabrava, Pavel ; Gryc, Jana
Infrared spectroscopy is one of the most frequent method used for identi'cation of various materials. Method was used in this study for characterisation of postmortal degradation of skeletal residues. An Essentials importance for preservation or degradation of bone tissue have the qualities of surrounding soil – mainly pH level and humidity. In acidic surroundings the mineral composition of bone – hydroxyapatite Ca5(PO4)3OH is gradually melt, which can 'nally eventuate in decalci'cation of bone tissue. Another result of the acidic environment is recrystalization of hydroxyapatite into the other mineral called bruslit (CaHPO4 . 2 H2O). Brushit occurence was approved in bones of Dietrichstein family members, who were buried in a family crypt in Mikulov. A speci'c factor in.uencing degradation of bones is high temperature. FTIR spectroscopy can be used to dif- ferentiate between burnt or unburnt bones and thanks to this method the temperature of cremation and the burning conditions can be successfully estimated. Bone residues coming from the necropolis in Přibor (the Bronz Age, the Iron Age) and also animal residues from Chotěbuz-Podo- bora were analysed.

Noble Interest. Women in Czech Archaeology in 19th and at the Beginning of 20th Century
SKLENÁŘOVÁ, Eva
This paper concentrates on the role of women in science, specifically in archaeology of past centuries. The women{\crq}s access to education and scientific career had been restricted by then notion of woman{\crq}s proper standing in society {--} educated and independently intellectually active woman didn{\crq}t fit in the required role of the custodian of family hearth, of spouse and mother. So the women interested in science had to overcome various prejudices and obstacles. The introduction of this work briefly informs about traditional women{\crq}s standing in the society and about possibilities of their education in the setting of high schools and universities in the flow of centuries. It presents also a short insight into the history of archaeology as a discipline to show in which stage it was in the time these women worked in it. This paper finds in these women pre-archaeologists three kinds of leading motivations. The first, most typical model, were women influenced by their husbands. Women of the archaeologists often participated on their work either from marital solidarity or of one{\crq}s own interest that survived the spouse{\crq}s death. The second biggest group was formed by the daughters of archaeologists that grew up amongst prehistoric relics and, as kids, attended archaeological research with their fathers. In this group we also find either a short time fascination or lifelong influence. The third group is formed by the women from non-archaeologist families. Some of them familiarized with prehistoric relics through their commercial interests, others, and this group was bigger, displayed purely personal passion for this science. This latter group made friends with important archaeologists of their time and engaged in this trade under their leadership. The last part of the work is formed by the succinct reference on educated professional women archaeologists who followed this pioneers on the area of interest {--} though in fact they don{\crq}t fit into epoch and topic investigated.

The archaeological excavations with the early mediaeval component in Kutná Hora region in 2004-2006
Velímský, Filip
The article is a brief summary of results of the minor archaeological excavations in years 2004-2006 in the territory of Kutná Hora district with the evidence of settlement or burial activities dated to the Early Middle ages. In addition to description of the respective excavations find contexts, the text provides also the fundamental registration of acquired material. A certain part of the article is dedicated to the insertion of acquired knowledge in the current concept of Early Medieval region settlement and to the comparison of the distinct finds with similar material from other localities.

The summary of results of the present archaeological excavations in the area of the Cistercian cloister in Sedlec by Kutná Hora
Velímský, Filip
The article is a brief summary of results of the rescue archaeological excavations near the convent church of the Assumption of Virgin Mary in the area of the Cistercian convent in Sedlec by Kutná Hora in years 2004-2008. The author focuses mainly on two new discoveries, which are crucial for the building history, concretely on the coin depot containing Prague Gross of Václav II. and Jan Lucemburský, dating the completion of the chapels in the east side of the convent church to the 2nd decade of 14th century at the latest, and on the partial uncovering of so far unregistered building, with high probability an older Romanesque convent church.
