Environmental changes and human land-use interactions in ancient Thrace during the Iron Age: The impact of Greek colonization
Parvoničová, Lenka ; Pavúk, Peter (advisor) ; Bouzek, Jan (referee)
The present thesis deals with the interrelationship between environmental changes and the Thracian society whose development took place in the surrounding environment undergoing fundamental transformation during the first millennium BC. The more significant impact of increasing human activities on the landscape, namely cultivation of plants and pastoralism, both connected with extensive deforestation, associated with the higher social and economic pressure can be detected since the Late Bronze Age and Early Iron Age. In the following phase of agriculture development, since the seventh century BC when the first Greek colonies were founded in the Northern Aegean, Thrace became an important part of the Eastern Mediterranean macro-region. Vegetation cover and its changes influenced by local land-use and livelihoods is studied on the basis of identification and interpretation of anthropological indicators, contained in the plant macroremains and pollen assemblages. Geographically, the palaeoecological and archaeobotanical studies included in this thesis are focused on inland Ancient Thrace, i.e. the territory of the modern Bulgaria. For better understanding of vegetation history, settlement pattern and subsistence strategies, the archaeobotanical records of cultivated and ruderal plants or weeds...

Orpheus: Comparative Analysis of the Myth
Erhart, Krištof ; Chlup, Radek (advisor) ; Vítek, Tomáš (referee)
Cílem práce je na základě zkoumání pramenů písemného a ikonografického charakteru analyzovat mýtus o Orfeovi a vytvořit podklad pro zkoumání jeho vztahu k orfismu a příbuzným náboženským hnutím. Práce sleduje mýtus na několika rovinách. První je Orfeova genealogie a jeho spjatost s hudbou. Následuje rekonstrukce jeho účasti na výpravě Argonautů a jeho další aspekty, kterými jsou vztah k magii, věštění a iniciace do tajných náboženských obřadů. Poté se práce zaměřuje na téma sestupu do podsvětí za Orfeovou ženou Eurydikou. Závěrečné kapitoly jsou věnovány Orfeově smrti a posmrtnému osudu jeho hlavy, která pronášela věštby.
