ZEMANOVÁ, Gabriela
The present work attempts to provide understanding of the issue of human individuality, identity and personhood in the Early Middle Ages on the basis of a literature review. The thesis also aims to describe the ways of study individuals in archaeology and in related fields with emphasis on bioarchaeological methods, which include determination of basic paleodemographic parameters, paleopathology, DNA analysis and stable isotope analysis. The application of these methods and the interpretation of their results in relation to human individuality are presented in three case studies from early medieval burial sites.

Diseases depicted in fine arts
FÜRSTOVÁ, Anežka
Diseases in the arts represent a broad and little-explored topic. There is no consistent publication in the available literature. This theme deals with the scientific discipline of palaeopathology, which investigates diseases of past human and animal populations. This work contains description of how diseases, injuries and congenital defects are depicted in fine arts. At first the palaeopathology, its history, sources and the difficulties associated with the verification of the data are elaborated. The main part of the work involves classification of diseases found in the fine arts and its analysis, which is supplemented by historical context. The aim is to gather knowledge of diseases that appear in the visual arts, using available literature.

Evaluation methods of the frequency of the locomotory apparatus injuries
Likovský, Jakub
Signs of skeletal injuries represent one of the most frequently described pathological findings in anthropological literature dedicated to past populations. Most often, though, this only involved case reports, which were not correlated with the number of individuals and the state of preservation of the skeletons or individual bones. The frequency of fractures in the population has been studied by several authors in the past decades, and various methods of evaluation have been devised.
