in summer 2009, we documented active summer campsites at lakes and abandoned winter and spring campsites in open tundra (mountain ridge of Yangana Pe) and forest tundra (Oktyaberskaya, north of Labytnangi). Discussion of the floristic and zoological potentials of tundra, forest tundra, and forest for nutriture shows that plant resources and fish are available predominantly in summer while reindeer occur in these regions during fall, winter and spring, as they return from summer pastures further to the north. Movements of the individual Nenets families depend on ownership of sufficient reindeer. Missing components of the nutriture are substituted by purchasing consumer products. The documented camps are structured along discrete zones such as interior living areas (including children´s playgrounds), exterior areas with evidence of woodworking, processing reindeer, and other activities, peripheral toss zones, and dispersed activity remains in the surrounding landscape (some of which may have ritual meaning). Certain variation recorded in the individual camps is caused by distances between camps, to the nearest shop and to communication networks, by demographic structure of the site, by activities of the inhabitants and their financial potential (after selling some of the reindeer in winter, for example). The scope of these comparisons is enriched by Upper Paleolithic evidence from central European hunters’ settlements which display a basically similar camp structure and zonality but include (of course) different types of objects and activities., Jiří Svoboda ...

The Moravian-Silesian Prehistoric Branch of the Archaeological Institute AV ČR, Brno, v. v. i. has a long-term research interest in lithic chipped industries of the Late Stone Age and the Early Bronze Age in Moravia and Czech Silesia. Presently, a very important research focus is a lithic collection from the fortified Eneolithic hillfort Starý Zámek near Jevišovice. There are 474 knapped artifacts in the collection, including pieces collected from the surface and from excavations by J. Palliardi. One third of the artifacts are linked to cultural layers C, C2, C1 and B. Seventy pieces were published by Anna Medunová. At least 74 of the artifacts excavated by J. Palliardi have been recently identified in the collection deposited at the Moravian Museum. The assemblage includes a variety of endscrapers, blades, and borers as well as some cores. Tools of the Krummesser type from layer B and a bifacially retouched artifact (dagger or sickle fragment) from Bavarian tabular chert (Plattensilex) are of particular interest. Most artifacts were produced from local rocks (cherts of the Krumlovský les type and weathering products of serpentinite), although silicites from glacial sediments and chert of the Stránská skála type have also been identified. The presence of Bavarian Plattensilex (at least two artifacts) and rocks sourced from Poland (silicites from Cracow-Częstochowa Jurassic Upland and the spotted chert of the Świeciechów type). Two Palaeolithic artifacts are a surprising discovery. We cannot exclude the possibility that these pieces originate from an earlier period and were reused later., Lubomír Šebela, Antonín Přichystal, Alena Humpolová, Lubomír Prokeš., and Obsahuje seznam literatury
Za nejvýraznější přínos biografie Josefa kardinála Berana (1888-1969) pokládá recenzent zjištění nových či upřesněných životopisných poznatků na základě dosud nedostupných archivních materiálů. Těžiště publikace spočívá ve vylíčení Beranova konfliktu s komunistickým režimem po roce 1948 a poté jeho dlouholetého věznění, ukončeného roku 1965 odchodem do exilu v Římě. Četbu však podle recenzenta ruší stylová nejednotnost, nepříliš zdařilé je propojení biografické perspektivy s širším kontextem a v knize se vyskytují také nepřesnosti z oblasti katolické teologie a církevních reálií., The most pronounced contribution of this biography of Cardinal Josef Beran (1888-1969), according to the reviewer, consists in the facts the author has discovered and in his making biographical information more precise on the basis of previously inaccessible archive records. The main part of the publication is a discussion of Beran’s conflict with the Communist régime from the beginning of its establishment in 1948 and his long imprisonment, which ended in 1965, followed by his going into exile in Rome. But, according to the reviewer, the uneven writing style mars the work, as does the largely unsuccessful linking of the biographical perspective together with the wider context. Moreover, the publication contains inaccuracies in the area of Roman Catholic theology and Church life and institutions., [autor recenze] Michal Sklenář., and Obsahuje bibliografii
This paper considers various approaches to love and morality in Protestant society in the late 18th century, as illustrated in Czechlanguage religious and educational literature (Korunka, aneb Wjnek Pannenský wssechněm pobožným a sslechetným Pannám toho Gazyku užjwagjcým, Litomyšl 1784; Kazatel Domovnj, Brno 1783). Our focus is on divine love, man’s love of God, marital love, parental and filial love, and definitions of immorality. We also examine some contemporary reactions to religious and educational writings in the memoirs of one of their readers, the rural preacher and Bible scholar Tomáš Juren (1750-1829), as well as the differences between the Christian confessions in their attitude to the emotions., Sixtus Bolom-Kotari., and Obsahuje bibliografické odkazy
The paper deals with the topic of evangelical preachers of the Helvetic and the Augsburg Confession coming from the Hungarian part of the Habsburg Monarchy, after the Patent of Toleration was issued, and establishing tolerance evangelical congregations in Bohemia and Moravia. Based on studying the sources of particular tolerance Czech congregations (for example Moraveč, Humpolec, Dvakačovice, Lozice, Raná, Sány, Prague), the process of forming a new social stratum of the petty intelligentsia, whose creation was conditioned by the Enlightenment reforms, is outlined. The text shows how the Hungarian preachers made the first contacts with the emerging evangelical communities, gives an idea of the circumstances of their arrival, describes the way of their adapting to an unfamiliar environment and their effort to stabilize the congregations. These particular findings are generalized in order to define some common characteristics typical of this group of Enlightenment intellectuals., Gabriela Krejčová Zavadilová a Hana Stoklasová., and Obsahuje bibliografické odkazy
