Vindolanda and Vindolanda tablets. The Archaeology of Life on the British Limes
Tlustá, Johana ; Titz, Pavel (advisor) ; Musil, Jiří (referee)
Roman fortification Vindolanda was situated along the Roman road Stanegate running across the Solway-Tyne isthmus and was occupied by auxiliary units from approximately 80-400 AD. Vindolanda's damp natural environment and the Roman terrain levelling technology enabled numbers of thin wooden tablets with ink writing to survive until today. The content of these tablets range from military strength reports, duty officers' reports, daily rosters, leave requests to personal correspondence and accounts. Nearly 2000 tablets have been found so far. They carry significant information concerning the processes within the Roman army and life of the troops on the northern frontier. This thesis deals with the content of these tablets in comparison to the material culture which was found on the site. It also investigates whether these tablets are relevant to archaeological science and uses them to infer the daily life of Roman soldiers on the British limes.

Curse Tablets and their Archaeological Context in the Roman Province of Britannia
Śmiejová, Michaela ; Titz, Pavel (advisor) ; Musil, Jiří (referee)
(in English): Curse tablets are interesting phenomenon in the Ancient world. The curses are usully written on the lead tablet. Totally there are about 1500 curses found, from which one third is written in latin and 309 from that amount were founf in Roman Britain. I focus on this countable group in my Diploma Thesis. Firstly I prefer the archaeological side of the artefact. The context is usually the only way to date and understand the curse tablet itself. I offer all the sites where information about them is given. We can talk also about the so called prayers for justice which are quite numerous in Britannia. They are of the same principle as curses, but they are not made for satisfied selfish ambitions. They ask gods for help. Most often they are made because of the robbery which has not been punished in the world of mortals, because the thief is not known or there are too many suspects.
