The lectures first present the discipline of prehistory and its basic methodological approaches. Later, attention is devoted to the history of prehistory and the early historical era (to the arrival of the Slavs to our territory) with emphasis being laid on the development throughout Central Europe, which is, however, always both introduced in the necessary wider context and nailed down on the examples of archaeological localities in the region, i.e. North Bohemia.
The graduates are orientated in the development of archaeology of the prehistoric period as a discipline and can explain the basic principles of the methods of archaeological work. They can clarify them in conformity with the current state of knowledge, especially in connection with: the process of anthropogenesis; the significance of the Neolithic revolution; significant civilization changes in the Central-European prehistoric history; the formation of European language and ethnic groups. They also can characterize the individual archaeological cultures on the example of localities in the Czech lands or, respectively, directly in the region of North-West Bohemia. |
