Kapic, Matyáš ; Štefan, Ivo (advisor) ; Varadzin, Ladislav (referee)
(in English) he presented work is a summary of the results of systematic research of the Praha-Vinoř hillfort carried out for last several years under the direction of the Institute of Archaeology of the Faculty of Arts, Charles University. The location can be seen as unique testimony to the transformation of the centre in the hinterland of Prague. Its significance and function have changed substantially in the past. The oldest identified early medieval component is represented by the relics of a hall-like structure of great dimensions and an elite burial of a young girl located in its interior. The second important horizon of past activities is a creation of a large scale early medieval cemetery in the area surrounding this (perhaps still standing) building. According to well-known analogies and other numerous indications, it can be assumed that there was also a church, but the only excavated situation that allows us to consider this interpretation are the relics of a stone structure discovered on the southern edge of the necropolis.

Development of medieval settlement in the hinterland of stronghold in Praha-Vinoř
Kapic, Matyáš ; Štefan, Ivo (advisor) ; Hasil, Jan (referee)
(in English): The main aim of the presented thesis is to reconstruct the early medieval settlement in the vicinity of the Prague-Vinoř stronghold in as much details as possible and to describe its relation to this central locality. In addition, issues of the general character of this historical landscape are discussed, such as the spatial relationship between the settlement and funeral areas or the stabilization of the settlement network. The work was based on very diverse sources consisting of two phases of large-scale surface prospection and small-scale destructive researches. The obtained data differed greatly in their character, spatial distribution, and reliability, which led to the need to create a model that would allow their interconnection. According to it, specific settlements and burial grounds were defined, which became the basis for solving the issues described above.
