Roman and Germanic brooches in Central Europe. (The archaeology of barbarians 2012)
Droberjar, E. ; Komoróczy, Balázs
The collected volume, which comprises papers from 49 authors, is thematically focused on brooches of the Iron Age, Roman Period and Migration Period. Brooches represent one of the most important categories of artefacts in protohistoric archaeology and their role in the acquisition of knowledge about barbarian communities is often irreplaceable. Celtic, Roman or Germanic brooches are remarkable, quantitatively representative and morphologically variegated finds. The wide spectrum of their information possibilities often goes beyond the potential of the other tangible evidence. They represent one of the buttresses of relative-chronological systems and contribute significantly to the detailed knowledge of many aspects of human cultures in the past, including the production procedures, trade and other forms of interactions, social differentiation or regional modifications of fashion trends. Most of the 33 chapters published in this volume were presented and vividly discussed in the VIII Protohistoric Conference, which was held in premises of the Palacký University in Olomouc in 2012. The authors strived to put together individual groups of new brooch finds from the barbarian territory in Central Europe (Czech Republic, Slovakia, Austria and Poland) but also from peripheral parts of the Roman Empire, from provinces. In individual chapters they tried to outline several aspects of their documentation and classification and paid attention to analysis of selected categories. The authors publish in this volume new assemblages of finds and pay attention to various partial analyses of individual types or groups of brooches within a long period of time and with respect to current state of research.

Documentation, publication and interpretation of metal-detector finds as exemplified by Jobst type F4 brooches
Komoróczy, Balázs ; Vlach, Marek ; Zelíková, Michaela
Brooches represent a category of material evidence which in the past 25 years often became object of a very intensive metal detecting. In the Czech Republic, the number of amateurs who presently carry out this activity is much higher than the number of professional archaeologists. Archaeological science cannot omit the knowledge resulting from amateur metal-detecting finds, regardless of our personal opinion in this matter. We regard the documentation of all archaeological finds in our country as a professional duty of archaeological institutions, which is not contradictable by any reasonable arguments. On the contrary, when detectorists themselves or the general public prevent archaeologists from documenting these artefacts and making them accessible for professional study, this process gradually makes archaeology “blind”.

Transformation of urban and rural settlements in Southern Levant on the example of the so-called Decapolis in the Roman imperial period
Krnáč, Martin ; Stančo, Ladislav (advisor) ; Musil, Jiří (referee)
This thesis aims to describe the development and transformation of urban and rural settlements in Syropalestine in the territory of the so-called Decapolis during the Roman Imperial period. First chapter is dedicated to the history of the above mentioned region and begins with the formation of the Roman province of Syria in 63 BCE and then continues until the ascend of emperor Dioclecianus in 284 AD. Topography, political structure, religion and some other aspects which formed this region are briefly mentioned. The second part tackles selected urban settlements. It is focused on urban planning, city walls and public buildings, which were erected here in the given time period. The third chapter describes rural settlements and their overall development from first until third century AD. The following charter contains a synthesis of urban and, consequently, rural settlement made on the basis of ascertained findings. These two outcomes are compared using as a framework for characterizing specific changes which these settlements underwent in the defined period of time. Last chapter tackles the question as to whether these transformations in this region at the time of the Roman Empire can be described as a result of Hellenization or Romanization; both of those are used as a framework within which the...
