Learning outcomes

The subject focuses on artefacts and their production processes, divided to several categories, with correspondences and differences in their use in both eras, with typological range and with application of correct terminology. A special attention is paid to production tools, particularly of metallurgy (coppersmithing, casting). The discovery environment of individual sorts of artefacts is discussed in general. The most common settlement, funeral and technical ceramics; daub with traces of building constructions or other objects; stone and antler industry of many sorts (specific cases: belt hooks, solar discs, crescent pendants etc.). Stone and antler industry, and particularly quite variable bronze industry weapons, armour, tools, jewellery, toiletries, forms of material, proto-money and weight measures are characteristic particularly for Bronze Age. In Eneolithic, this range extends to more common range of jewellery, mostly made of noble sorts of metal (gold, silver, electrum) with an explanation of the earliest history of their processing. In this period, many other materials were used, including amber, the first enamel and glass products (beads), necklaces made of shells and conches of Mediterranean and other bivalvia etc. The practice focuses also on typochronological development of the most important material discoveries of given period. A part of the practice is the inspection, description, documentation and outlines of the typochronological development of the most important artefacts of a period, prepared by the students and consulted in the practice.
