KABÁTOVÁ, Alena
The present work aims to focus on hunting of carnivorous mammals in the Palaeolithic period. This activity constituted one of the fundamental economic, spiritual and existential tenets of Palaeolithic man-hunter. It also discusses the bioindication properties of animals in the archaeological context and research methods of the study of Carnivora remains. The work result is well arranged catalog of most archaeological sites, which were discovered in the Czech republic with confirmed findings of carnivorous mammals.

Nobleman and Hunting
HOLCEPL, Radek
The study of noble hunting phenomenon confirms that game keeping did not represent only entertainment for aristocracy but performed much more functions in the process of constituting the collective mentality of aristocracy. Taking the width and depth of motivation into account it turned out completely inadequate to consider hunting a mere sort of sport activities of aristocrats. This diploma paper presents the analysis of intricate relationships between the noble world-view and the world of hunting. It offers the outline of origins and forms of the aristocratic thinking about hunting, which contributed to the preservation of the nobleness tradition under Franz Joseph I. It is done with the emphasis put on the Czech aristocrats, especially the Schwarzenberg family. From different points of view the respective chapters examine different elements and layers of the ideology underlying the noble game-keeping that made up a significant constituent of the "other reality", into which the aristocracy confined themselves in the era of citizenship.

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.
