The Bachelor’s project is concerned with the research and the following analysis of information and the period technologies needed for making a replica of the brass hilt of a 10th century sword. The project particularly focuses on the period casting technology. Next, the possibility of making a replica by a 3D scan and 3D print is discussed. The project also includes a comprehensive experiment consisting of casting parts of the hilt using the period technology. The functionality reproducing the hilt by 3D technology up to the printed model stage is also tested.

In that time technicaly did not acted function of protection, but it acted represetativ function and we can see it like a art or statue. By technical site I really experiment with lots of different technics, in many cases I never stay on single one. I work with layers, underlay, with drawing as well as painting.

Metallurgy along the East Aegean-West Anatolian Interface in the Second Millennium B.C.
Roháček, Miloš ; Pavúk, Peter (advisor) ; Bouzek, Jan (referee)
(in English): This thesis aims at collecting, cataloguing and analysing bronze objects from the area of the East Aegean-West Anatolian Interface in the second millennium B.C. Based on closer typological assessment and comparanda, the question of eventual local specific production along the Interface, different from the Aegea or Eastern Mediterranean, is being investigated here. From up to 217 collected items, indeed many types of bronzes, especially swords, razors and spearheads indeed show a set of specific features. Also, the characteristic of bronze metals differs in Lower Interface with stronger minoan-mycenaen influnce from items in Upper Interface which seems to be following more anatolian features.

The Golden Age of Martial Arts of Europe
Šlapák, Vojtěch ; Čechura, Jaroslav (advisor) ; Beneš, Zdeněk (referee)
The goal of this thesis is to depict the golden era of European martial arts, which I consider to have developed in the "long" sixteenth century.This century is probably the most diverse one in European history in terms of weaponsused and fighting stylesintroduced. It was permeated by the fading phenomenon of chivalry, which last showed up in its full glory. Also, it is the age of mercenaries gloriously mastering the battlefields with their often dishonest, though effective tactics. But early modernperiod was anera of another victory, too. It was the beginning of a new type of warrior. Old medieval fencing was overcome by nimble styles arriving from Mediterranean area. The journey of these technical styles was one full of Renaissance spontaneity but also blood from thousands of duels. In Czech lands,this turning pointis already chronicledintheera of Rudolph II., which was a haven for various arts. Key words: Boxing - Cord - Duel - Europe - Fencing - Giacomo di Grassi - Knight - Mercenary - Nicolaes Petter - Pankration - Renaissance - Salvatore Fabris - Sword - Swordplay - Swordsman - Talhofer - Weapons - Wrestling
