Evidence of eneolithic textile production in Bohemia
Korteová, Judita ; Dobeš, Miroslav (advisor) ; Březinová, Helena (referee)
The aim of the thesis is to describe the technological as well as social connections of the textile production in Aeneolithic Bohemia, examined principally on archaeological evidence from Aeneolithic settlements, especially whirles, weights, awls and spools. Evaluated as for their number, shapes, dimensions, functions and archaeological context, the finds are being related to data coming from abroad, mainly from the pile-dwelling settlements in Switzerland, known as localities with preserved organic material. The thesis also includes a description of the various phases and techniques of the textile production, whose archaeological evidence is being compared with items found in Bohemia. The situation in Aeneolithic is being put in a broader context of the textile production in prehistoric and protohistoric times. Keywords awls, Bohemia, Aeneolithic, textile production, weights, whirls

The beginnings of textile production in the Czech Republic. Selected questions of textile production practised on the territory of the Czech Republic at the end of the Stone Age.
Korteová, Judita ; Dobeš, Miroslav (advisor) ; Březinová, Helena (referee)
This work assesses the evolution of textile production in the Czech lands during the Eneolithic, a period that is the earliest source of broader archaeological information for the study of textile manufacturing. The basis for the study is provided above all by archaeological finds of textile tools (spindle whorls, weights, spools and awls) that are evaluated within individual archaeological cultures in terms of quantity, shape, size and function, archaeological context and chronological development. This is supplemented by a survey of fragmentary textiles and their imprints dating from the Stone Age in the Czech Republic. Another important source of information is provided by findings from research into Eneolithic pile-dwelling settlements around Alpine lakes that have provided numerous finds of archaeological textiles as well as textile-making tools and tool fragments that have not been found in the Czech lands. An interesting comparative set of artefacts is provided by the objects found in the possession of the mummy of Ötzi dating from the Middle Eneolithic Period. The second part of the work focuses on the experimental testing of several hypotheses formulated on the basis of the study of archaeological materials. The experiments focused on the potential of working bast fibre from trees as an...
