Across Disciplines and Borders
This paper introduces a new joint Master’s degree programme in Environmental Archaeology, developed through collaboration between the University of South Bohemia in České Budějovice (Czech Republic) and Constantine the Philosopher University in Nitra (Slovakia). The programme responds to the growing need for integrative approaches in environmental archaeology, a field increasingly shaped by the expansion of high-resolution datasets and the method…
Climate and human-driven erosional dynamics in central European lowlands during the Late Glacial and Holocene – a case study from the sandstone area of the Bohemian Paradise (Czech Republic)
Dynamics of erosion-sedimentation processes can be triggered by both natural and anthropogenic perturbation of the ecosystem. However, the interplay between individual factors (e.g. climate, tectonics, vegetation and soil cover, land-use) is not fully understood due to the scarcity of suitable paleoenvironmental archives. Here we present the results of multidisciplinary research conducted in the geomorphologically diverse sandstone area of the Bo…
Jan Turek
If one were to characterise Jan Turek's Prvn Evropan (First Europeans) in a single sentence, it would perhaps be best described as an archaeological essay on the long-term cultural foundations of Europe.The book is far more than a conventional synthesis of European prehistory.Rather, it represents an ambitious attempt to interpret the emergence of European civilisation through the transformative processes associated mainly with the Neolithic.Alth…
Rethinking Key Transformations in the Neolithic and Bronze Age Central Europe
The past two decades have revolutionized our understanding of European prehistory, shaping new grand narratives focused on core regions with rich archaeological records. These studies suggest that major sociocultural shifts in central Europe, such as the Early Neolithic transition to farming, the spread of steppe ancestry during the Late Neolithic, and the rise of complexity at the beginning of the Early Bronze Age, were synchronous across extens…
Multi-proxy investigation of a unique Bronze Age deposit of broomcorn millet and human remains at a bog site in Bohemia, Czech Republic
At the edge of Neolithic transition
This project focuses on the subsistence strategies of Early Neolithic communities that inhabited the upland region of South Bohemia. Its results reveal a distinctive trajectory for this peripheral area that was colonised significantly later, brought incoming farmers into close contact with hunter-gatherers and made them adapt their conservative farming practices
Risco de resultado falso positivo no rastreamento mamográfico do Brasil
Resultados falsos positivos na mamografia de rastreamento são comuns a essa intervenção e trazem ônus para as mulheres e o sistema de saúde. O objetivo deste estudo foi estimar o risco de resultado falso positivo no rastreamento mamográfico brasileiro com base em dados de sistemas de informação do Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS). Foi realizado estudo de coorte histórica de mulheres de 40-69 anos, que realizaram mamografia de rastreamento e exame his…
The Shaqadud Archaeological Project (Sudan)
The authors present preliminary results from a new research project based in Jebel Shaqadud, Sudan. Their findings highlight the potential for this region's archaeological record to expand our understanding of the adaptation strategies used by human groups in arid north-east African environments away from rivers and lakes during the Holocene. Furthermore, they present exceptionally early radiocarbon dates that push postglacial human occupation in…
Managing wilderness? Holocene-scale, human-related disturbance dynamics as revealed in a remote, forested area in the Czech Republic
In the lowlands and uplands of Central Europe, which were inhabited continuously from the very start of the Holocene to the present times, it is difficult to find territories suitable for investigation of natural baselines. For this reason, we picked the complicated rocky terrain of one upland area in NE Bohemia called Adrspach because, based on the absence of archeological finds, it was supposed to have never been deforested or managed by people…
A little luxury doesn’t hurt
Islands of Difference
This paper explores the relationship between Mesolithic hunter-gatherers, Neolithic farmers and prehistoric herders using a regional-scale analysis of two agriculturally peripheral areas in Bohemia (Czech Republic). Both regions represent ecologically diverse islands used by hunter-gatherer communities for their rich natural resources and set within uniform loess basins colonised by the first LBK farmers. Based on settlement dynamics, radiocarbon…
New AMS 14C dates track the arrival and spread of broomcorn millet cultivation and agricultural change in prehistoric Europe
Broomcorn millet ( Panicum miliaceum L.) is not one of the founder crops domesticated in Southwest Asia in the early Holocene, but was domesticated in northeast China by 6000 bc . In Europe, millet was reported in Early Neolithic contexts formed by 6000 bc , but recent radiocarbon dating of a dozen 'early' grains cast doubt on these claims. Archaeobotanical evidence reveals that millet was common in Europe from the 2nd millennium bc , when major …
The lost paradise of snails
We studied the transformation of a middle-to-late Holocene forested ecosystem using the highly indicative remains of land snails. The study areas were sandstone landscapes of northern Bohemia (Czech Republic) that provide extremely rich terrestrial fossil records. As far as we know, nowhere else in the world does such a type of sedimentary environment provide Holocene records of snail shells. Currently, these sandstone landscapes are covered by l…
From Mesolithic hunters to Iron Age herders
Pozdně paleolitické a mezolitické osídlení Šumavy
The main objective of the article is to present knowledge of newly discovered sites in the mountainous environment of Šumava (Bohemian Forest). The fieldwork in 2011–2019 identified a total of 30 new sites that can be dated to the Late Palaeolithic and Mesolithic periods. The research of prehistoric settlement of the mountainous regions of Bohemia remained a neglected topic for many years. The presence of hunters-gatherers in the mountains in the…
Last Glacial Maximum landscape and Epigravettian horse hunting strategy in Central Europe
With the end of MIS3, the unity of larger Gravettian settlements based predominantly on mammoth exploitation split into a mosaic of smaller Epigravettian sites with specific behaviors and economies. Based on C14 chronology, the site of Stránská skála IV (together with Grubgraben, Ságvár and Kašov), correlates with a brief warm period after the Last Glacial Maximum around 22 ka calBP. We detected two main accumulations of predominantly horse bones…
Holocene forest transformations in sandstone landscapes of the Czech Republic
Stand-scale palaeoecology in sandstone landscapes provides insight into contrasting Holocene forest succession trajectories. Sharp geomorphological gradients in this investigated area, which in addition have never been deforested during the Holocene, provide a good model for upscaling the local vegetation histories to the wider territory of Central Europe. In three sandstone areas – Bohemian Paradise, Polemené hory and Broumov – we compare (1) an…

Late Glacial and Holocene sequences in rockshelters and adjacent wetlands of Northern Bohemia, Czech Republic
Holocene climatic events linked to environmental changes at Lake Komořany Basin, Czech Republic
Former Lake Komořany, located in Northwest Bohemia in Central Europe, provides multiple proxies (pollen, plant macrofossils, diatoms, chironomids and sediment chemistry) that allowed reconstruction of the development of its aquatic environment and catchment, throughout the Holocene. In order to reconstruct the climatic forcing of this development, we performed a pollen-based reconstruction of climate changes using the best modern analogue method.…
Early postglacial recolonisation, refugial dynamics and the origin of a major biodiversity hotspot. A case study from the Malá Fatra mountains, Western Carpathians, Slovakia
While general trends in Central European postglacial recolonisation dynamics are relatively well known, we often lack studies on intermediate (meta-population, landscape) scales. Such studies are needed to increase our understanding of, for example, the location of refugia; emergence of endemism, rates and trajectories of postglacial migrations; and anthropogenic landscape changes. Here, we focused on the outer Western Carpathian mountain chain M…
Obtaining Black Carbon—A Simple Method for the Safe Removal of Mineral Components from Soils and Archaeological Layers
In this study, we present a novel, safe method for how to remove inorganic components from soil samples studied for archaeological purposes, in order to improve studies of the distribution of black carbon in the sedimentary record. As the depositional history of this material depends on the interaction between humans and the natural environment, this method can be widely used in archaeology, landscape archaeology, palaeoecology, environmental geo…

A charcoal record of Holocene woodland succession from sandstone rock shelters of North Bohemia (Czech Republic)
Mid-Holocene bottleneck for central European dry grasslands
Revisiting the classical Gradmann’s ‘steppe theory’ for central Europe, we examine whether the early Holocene steppe habitats survived the critical period of maximum Holocene afforestation: the mid-Holocene bottleneck. Despite the undisputable fact that afforestation was a dominant ecological factor in this period, our parallel analyses of pollen and molluscs from sedimentary sequences discovered in the dry lowland area of northern Bohemia, Czech…

The model of unobservable components and its use for identification of time series common trends
The co-integration of time series indicates the presence of their common trends. For analytical purpose it is important to transform some time series into gap form. This transformation can be received as a difference between the time series and the common trends. The model of demand for money in Czech Republic created by real M2, real GDP and 1R PRIBOR time series contains two common trends. These trends are estimated from the state space form of…
Gnosis Als Weltreligion Und Als Häresie
Gnosis als Weltreligion und als Haresie
I.A) Die Gnosis ist mit dem ambitiisen Programm entstanden, eine Weltreligion zu werden und hat sich dann in eine christliche Hairesie umgewandelt. Diese These soll erklirt und begriindet werden. Dass die Gnosis ausserhalb des Christentums entstanden ist, wird vor allem durch die Tatsache belegt, dass es eine Reihe gnostischer Texte gibt, die keine christlichen Motive aufweisen oder in welchen diese als spaitere Einschiibe zu bezeichnen sind. Aus…
The Temptation Stories and their Intention

Christologie et Baptême à l'Époque du Christianisme Primitif
(1) Dans le domaine des recherches concernant le Nouveau Testament au cours des deux dernières décennies, un grand rôle a été joué par la thèse de la diversification de la christologie primitive. Contrairement à l'affirmation plus ancienne de Wilhelm Bousset sur l'origine pagano-chrétienne du titre Kyrios-Seigneur et aux théories plus anciennes sur l'évolution dialectique du jeune christianisme soutenues par l'ecole de Töbingen, il est symptomati…
Der Irdische Jesus im Johannesevangelium
In seiner Studie ‘Jesu letzter Wille nach Johannes 17’ hat Ernst Käsemann ein Bild des Johannesevangeliums als das eines Dokuments einer Christo-logie des auf Erden schreitenden göttlichen Logos entworfen. Worte, die auf die Inkarnation hinweisen, wie 1. 14, deutet ernicht als Ausdruck der Selbsterniedrigung des Erlösers, sondern als ein Zeugnis seiner triumphie-renden Herrlichkeit, die die Barriere der Weltlichkeit überwindet und auch den sündig…
Zur Entstehung der Evangelien
Die Untersuchungen über die Entstehung der Evangelien müssen vor allem das Markusevangelium beachten, weil es nach der Zweiquellentheorie die bedeutendste Vorlage der beiden übrigen Synoptiker ist und weil die ganze Gruppe der urchristlichen Schriften, die man heute Evangelien nennt, durch das Markusevangelium beeinflußt ist. Das Markusevangelium wird in den Beiden Dimensionen untersucht, durch die die einzelnen literarischen Texte mit den breite…
From a Puppy to the Child Some Problems of Contemporary Biblical Exegesis Demonstrated from Mark 7.24–30/Matt 15.21–8
My intention is to discuss some problems of biblical exegesis using as model the pericope on the Syrophoenician woman according to Mark. I assume the priority of Mark (the two sources theory) in spite of the fact that the Matthean parallel bears some traces of independent origin. They are most probably influenced by oral tradition, which was alive at least until the end of the second century, and partially also by the Matthean redaction (Matt 15.…

Philosophical Hermeneutics and Biblical Exegesis
The authors of these English and German essays focus on the analysis of the hermeneutical process, which is what occurs when texts are interpreted successfully. They are based on talks given at a symposium on 'Philosophical Hermeneutics' held at the Center for Biblical Studies in Prague in November 2001. In addition to an introductory essay by Paul Ricoeur about the basic problems of philosophical hermeneutics, the volume contains contributions f…
