La Tene period in Bohemia from Archaeozoological perspective
OPELKOVÁ, Monika
The main aim of this thesis is to approach the economic history of a less explored period in our territory, which is the La T?ne period. The first part of the diploma thesis is focused on farming in the settlements of this period in Central Europe with an emphasis on the Czech environment. The practical part consists of the archaeozoological analysis of an osteological assemblage from Modlešovice site in South Bohemia, in order to approach the economic background of the settlement and the socio-economical significance of animals for humans in the La Tene period. The species composition of the fauna and their anatomical representation, age, health condition, etc. are monitored.

The Paper on Understanding the Subsistence Manner on the Transition of Neolithic and Eneolithic Age (a Comparative Study between the Western Culture Complex and Regions of Bohemia and Moravia)
Mattová, Sabina ; Popelka, Miroslav (advisor) ; Neustupný, Evžen (referee) ; John, Jan (referee)
The study presented deals with the phenomenon of increased hunting activity on the transition of the Neolithic and Eneolithic Age, the reasons of which have been so far investigated only in regard to environmental conditions of locations. The phenomenon is observed on locations of a wide area of Middle Europe. Nevertheless, there exist locations with prevailing agricultural economy. On the basis of a detailed comparative analysis of the material culture of the Western culture circle and Bohemia and Moravia, the study aims to trace the reflection of the phenomenon in archaeological materials - differences between locations with predominant domestic sources, and locations with predominant wild sources. Alongside, the study deals with a possible environmental impact on increasing hunting tendencies. In order to created a database, a detailed catalogue of locations has been compiled. The catalogue holds the most essential information on material culture with regard to expected agricultural manners. The catalogue also serves as a clue for setting particular indicators of the database, the purpose of which is to organise the data in a comparable form. Subsequently, a descriptive database has been compiled. The database traces the reflection of agricultural base of the individual locations. By means of a...

Pasture and its importance in La Téne and Roman Period
Belavá, Barbora ; Frank Danielisová, Alžběta (advisor) ; Pokorný, Petr (referee)
This Master thesis is dedicated to pasture and the overall image of animal husbandry in Central Europe in La Téne Period and Roman Age. An important part is evaluation of osteological assemblages grazed animals, the question of the spectrum of species and creating models applied in the territory of today's Czech republic. A meaningful component of this study is comparison farmed animals at the time of La Téne and Roman period. Keywords: pasture - animal husbandry - agriculture - La Téne period - Roman period - archaeozoology

Archaeozoology of Klementinum in Prague
Burian, Martin ; Kovačiková, Lenka (advisor) ; Kyselý, René (referee)
Diploma thesis Archaeozoology Klementinum in Prague studies the archaeozoological remains from the Klementinum in Prague dated between the late 11th and 15th century. The work is divided into two parts - the theoretical and the empirical part. The theoretical part focuses on the economic background of the medieval city and nutrition of its inhabitants. Other chapters focus on the historical context of Klementinum and characteristics of the archaeological research, which took place on its territory in 2012 - 2014. The research consists of material and methods and subsequent evaluation of the obtained data, which are discussed and compared with literature. The aim of this diploma thesis is to bring interpretation of human diet of people whom lived at the site of today's Klementinum in Prague, in different time periods (from the beginning of the peak to the late Middle Ages) through the analysis of animal bones. In conclusion this diploma thesis found the economic base of the territory and which animals have been consumed on the site. In different periods was observed increasing richness of species for documented animals. Also there was discussed the impact of arrival of the Dominican convent on the breding economy after a year 1232nd.

Archeozoology of the Unetice culture in the light of divergent approaches
Trojánková, Olga ; Horáček, Ivan (advisor) ; Kovačiková, Lenka (referee)
This work summarizes results of a comprehensive analyses of the archaeozoological material on the settlement in Vlíněves dating to the Unetice culture (the early Bronze Age, Central Bohemia). The total of 5325 bones and teeth has been analysed within this analysis, 903 of them was determined and used for further analyses. The taxonomic structure of the material with a clear prevalence of domestic mammals was assessed, the proportion of other groups was low (7 species of wild animals). The application of stable isotopes and dental microwear analyses of faunal assemblage, first used in Bohemia in the context of the Bronze Age period, has specified the nature of a dietary base livestock as grassland habitats, and has ruled out a significant ratio of C4 plants and an application of forest pasture. The combined use of domestic animals with an increase emphasis on so-called secondary products (milk and wool) prove a bimodality in kill-off patterns of sheep and goats, height at withers of sheep, which corresponds to the breeds of sheep extended during the bronze age period and to the high mortality profile of cattle. The proposed results of our work are important in this context because they suggest these facts for the early Bronze Age already. In accordance with circumstances at other sits of Unetice...

Archaeozoological analysis of South Bohemian Premyslid stronghold et Na Jánu, Netolice
HAUSTEINOVÁ, Tereza
Early-medieval Premyslid stronghold at Na Jánu, Netolice is the subject of systematic archaeological research, that contributes to the research in the history of South Bohemia. The presented archaeozoological analysis deals mostly with the aspects of animal husbandry and wild animal hunting at the Na Jánu stronghold. It supplements other archeological and bioarchaeological papers that reveal the economical workings of this stronghold.

Archaeozoology of the Neolithic of Bohemia
KOVAČIKOVÁ, Lenka
An archaeozoological analysis of the assemblages of animal bones and teeth of Neolithic (Linear and Stroked Pottery cultures; approx. 5500-4200 BC)settlements in Bohemia, provide new elements on the way of life of early farmers. By means of study of animal bones and teeth we can specify the role of domestic and hunting animals in the Neolithic economy, define the herd management strategies for main domestic animals and focus on the environmental reconstruction and investigation of births distribution of domestic animals (for exemple of cattle in the case of this study) through the analysis of the carbon and oxygen isotopic compositions of fossil tooth enamel bioapatite. To achieve these objectives, we can use, except standard archaeozoological methods and stable isotope analysis, more specific procedures, e.g. determination of damaged bones of animals using the ELISA test.

Osteological analysis of horses in slavnik's Libice
VAŇKÁTOVÁ, Martina
The aim of the thesis is the osteological analysis of early medieval bone samples of genus Equus Caballus . The samples found near the surroundings of historical Libice nad Cidlinou (the seat of Slavník{\crq}s family) were analysed using standard methods. Horses` withers height forms the cental theme of this work. All the data concerning the central topic were used to analyse the usage of horses in early medieval times in the Libice Castle area.
