An early mediaeval cementery by Mlékojedy whittin his regional context
Derner, Kryštof ; Štefan, Ivo (advisor) ; Tomková, Kateřina (referee)
The basis of the presented thesis is a description of an early mediaeval burial ground in Mlékojedy "Nad hřbitovem", which was discovered in the year 2007. Based on the grave goods, it is dated back from the beginnig of the 10th to the half of the 11th century. The relation of the grave goods to anthropological attributes of burried individuals shows namely an increase in ratio of equipped graves up to an early adulthood and then its gradual reduction.The arrangement of a grave was dependent on dating. The grave with an elite female gariture and the grave with weapons are compared with the similar ones discovered in hinterland of the Litoměřice fortification. A regular positioning of burial grounds on the left bank of the river Labe as early as at the beginning of the 10th century shows an early settlement of this area and allows to dicover the extent of the Litoměřice agglomeration.The author of this thesis proposes, that a simultaneous abandoning of the both known burial grounds in the Mlekojedy estates is an evidence for a transfer of the burial grounds closer to a sanctuary located in the center of the contemporary village. Key words Burial ground, early mediaeval, Mlékojedy, Litoměřice distr., 10th. century, 11th. century, earrings, weapons, social topography, history of settlement,...

Geochemical methods in medieval archaeology: testing in the area of the deserted village Hol (Capital city of Prague)
Janovský, Martin ; Klír, Tomáš (advisor) ; Holata, Lukáš (referee)
This bachelor's thesis deals with the application of geochemical methods in the area of the deserted village Hol with a focus on phosphate analysis. The goal of the research of the area was to define the relative differences in the geochemical composition of soil in individual parts of intravilan and fields and contribute to the knowledge about their economic utilization. The evolution of the phosphate analysis in the world and in the Czech Republic with the focus on the issue of application of different methods used mainly in the medieval locations constitutes a significant part of the thesis. Natural conditions and other external effects influencing the content of phosphate in the soil were taken into account. The macroscopic observations during the probe digging proved the absence of a strong humic horizon in a place, where gardens were originally assumed. This absence could point to the location of economic buildings. The bleaching of upper soil horizons in the area could be caused by previous human activity; this phenomenon is connected not only to natural conditions, which are not opportune, but also to the absence of medieval tillage. The content of P in the assumed gardens does not differ greatly. It is relatively high which could indicate the presence of previous economic buildings or...

Farmyards in medieval Bohemia and Moravia. The context of settlement and its economic potential.
Rak, Ondřej ; Klír, Tomáš (advisor) ; Šimůnek, Robert (referee)
1 Abstract In this work I deal with farmyards 13th-15th century, which formed an integral part of the medieval landscape. The main attention is paid to settlement-historical context and economic potential. Attention was also focused on the methods used, archaeological surveys and surface exploration. Nobility farmyards are divided into several types, according to the economic strategy and in material form. Their form depended on the owner, the monasteries were built large courtyards and nobility smaller. The main purpose of these farmyards was to provide the economic base of the nobility. There are also farmyards that served to financial income. The most common owners were a nobility and church institutions. Mostly they were situated to rural settlemet, where they were always dominant feature. Because this is not very frequent theme in Czech archeology, the aim of this work was also to summarize current knowledge. Given the breadth of the topic, I tried to include as much information, on the other hand, I had to approach selected topics in general. Work should, however, include the most important knowledge on this topic.

Hinterland of Kouřim in Přemyslid period
Dvořáček, Daniel ; Klír, Tomáš (advisor) ; Štefan, Ivo (referee)
This Bachelor work is dedicated to the nearest hinterland of early middle age central places - Old Kouřim and Kouřim - St. Georg. One of the few results of this work is collected in catalogue, which summarise all information about archaeological excavations and coincidental discovery. Strong attention is dedicated to surface collections, which were done because of identification of new places. It was important to work with ceramics fragments. There is a summary of results and investigations, which creates today's picture of archaeological research about early medieval hinterland (agglomeration) of Kouřim. This work includes information about other Czech hinterland places as well. Key-words: the Early Middle Ages, Central places, Hinterland (agglomeration), Surface collections, Ceramic analyzes.
