Základní koncepty Pierra Bourdieu: pole – kapitál – habitus
(AntropoWeb, 2011) Růžička, Michal; Vašát, Petr
The authors argue that the work of Pierre Bourdieu (1903-2002) can be understood as composing of three pillars: (1) „epistemologization“ of social science, (2) attempt to overcome classical philosophical dualisms of Western thought, and (3) integration of scientific rigour into political engagement. This paper focuses on the second pillar by introducing to the reader the most fundamental concepts of Pierre Bourdieu´s sociology: concepts of social field, forms of capital, and habitus. Emphasis is given on how are these concepts intertwined and how it is not possible to understand one without the others.

Projevy nepietního způsobu ukládání mrtvých u středověkých populací
(AntropoWeb, 2011) Čulíková, Lucie
In this study is collected a number of existing pieces of knowledge about substandard treatment with the dead bodies. There are also discussed the reasons which led the society to these acts. These persons were the revenants (e. g.: vampire, suicide, executed person, criminal, witch, etc.). Large part of this study is dedicated to the factual graves where the relics of these persons were found. Database of non-reverent treated persons was created on the literature basis. Via this database were e.g. traced the most frequent locations of the revenants in the certain section of the areas. There was reached the conclusion that the most frequent location was the eastern section. The next conclusion was that 62 % of the recognized persons were men. The most frequented position of the bodies was a supine position. The artifacts were found only in a few cases. There were closely followed the substandard hits on the dead bodies. The database indicated that the most frequented hits were on the legs and the hits on head and arms were frequently, too. The tendency of this work was to get and organize the pieces of knowledge found in literature and to be a certain benefit in the broad issues.
Zobrazenia žien v umení klasického Grécka – možnosti interpretácií s využitím poznatkov genderových a feministických štúdií
(AntropoWeb, 2011) Jamrichová, Zuzana
The article deals with issues of interpretation of iconographic material with female figures from Classical Age of Ancient Greece. In the study, I try to analyze the material sources, interpret the obtained information by using gender and feminist perspective, and discuss how these theories could influence our knowledge about the lives of women in ancient Greece. The scenes with female figures on the red-figure vases and relief sculptures are using as the main iconographic sources in the article. These scenes are often interpreted as confirming the oppression of women, who were confined to women’s quarters and exploited as free labor. I want to refer how our view of life could influences procedures and conclusions in restoring the lives of women in the past.
Hyperostosis frontalis interna – a find in women individual from Modern Times (St. Martin Cathedral, Spisska Kapitula, Slovakia)
(AntropoWeb, 2011) Petrušová Chudá, Eva; Dörnhöferová, Michaela
In this study we present find of skeletal remains from the St. Martin Cathedral from the 17th – 18th centuries which were excavated in year 2008. Especially of individual from grave no. 2/2008 – preserved cranium showed marks of endocranial hyperostosis (stage B according Hershkovitz et al. 1999). Hyperostosis frontalis interna (HFI) is an overgrowth of bony tissue on the inner plate of the frontal bone of the calvaria, the irregular thickening of the endocranium (may be 1 cm or thicker). It is typically bilateral and symmetrical, and may extend to involve the parietal bones. It was first described in 1765 by Morgagni and Santorini as an obesity and virilism associated with thickening of internal table of the frontal bone called hyperostosis frontalis interna. HFI appears more commonly in women than in men, with an estimated male:female ratio 1:9, usually in age 35 years and older women. In modern population this condition is most prevalent in postmenopausal females, with frequencies of 40 – 62% reported, in general population, composed of males and females of different ages HFI affects 3 – 15% of individuals. In contrast, HFI is rarely reported in an archeological context. Using an anthropomorphological and paleopathological examination of the skeletal remains we realized that this women was in age category adultus II (30 – 39 years) or older, her stature was cca 151.875 cm and she also suffered from DISH, healed fracture of styloid process of right ulna, osteoarthrosis of humeral and femoral heads and spondylosis.
Archeologický výzkum vodních mlýnů: výsledky, perspektivy
(AntropoWeb, 2011) Galusová, Lucie
Contribution presents outcomes of some of the most important archaeological researches of the Middle Age and Modern Age mills in the Czech Lands and also presents chosen researches in Germany and Poland. It has been found out on basis of recent investigation that appearance of the mills is dependent on natural conditions and regional cultural standards and so it is very complicated to set a generally valid model of a mill. It is possible to set several generally valid principles with higher frequency in rural environment only. Furthermore, contribution focuses on future of archaeological research, especially of use of the non-destructive methods.
Confounding factors in interpreting fracture frequencies in skeletal populations
(AntropoWeb, 2011) Friedl, Lukáš
The lifestyle of past populations can be reconstructed with help of several skeletal indicators. One such indicator is trauma. Trauma can be used for inferring about daily activities, subsistence strategy, division of labor, occupational hazards as well as warfare. Paleoepidemiology aimed at the evaluation of pathologies in populations provides a tool, however, since the tool is inferential and the living population does not exist anymore, it also brings some problems in the interpretation. This paper discusses these problem areas on a specific example of fracture frequency interpretations in skeletal populations. There are two main sources of interpretation confusion: methods and biology. Methodological problems are preservation, estimates of number of individuals, age, and sex, fracture recognition and diagnosis, and chronology of burial sites. Biological problems arise from processes of senescence, healing, and bone remodeling.
