Specifications

The service specializes in the search for, separation and evaluation of plant macro-remains and pollen from different contexts of primarily archaeological sites. It concerns cultural layers and the filling of archaeological objects or the filling of permanently waterlogged sites and objects, such as wells, reservoirs, water mains, cellars, as well as lakes or blind branches of rivers. The searched-for objects are usually plant seeds or parts of fruits, but also needles, buds, grain husks and straw residues. Based on the plant structure it is then possible to evaluate which main crop plants (cereals, legumes, fruits, vegetables, spices, technical plants) were grown at the site or collected, but not only that. According to the discovered seeds of wild species it is possible to at least roughly reconstruct the immediate surroundings of the site, i.e. fields, meadows, waste areas, waterlogged habitats, forests and shrub formations.

Specifications

The subject of archeozoological analysis is the study of bones, teeth and other parts of animal bodies (e.g. horns, hooves, shellfish shells, etc.) in an archaeological context. The analysis uses and incorporates knowledge from the natural and humanities fields. There is very close cooperation especially with archeology, which expands on zoological findings e.g. with temporal and spatial information.

Conditions

The laboratory performs sampling for analysis or ensures the removal of animal bones at the site of analysis at the archaeological site for the customer. In the laboratory, analysis is performed consisting of a detailed description and measurements of each bone according to archaeozoological standards. The data is stored in an archaeozoological database. We usually count the time of technical collection and consultation, as well as the time spent by the analyst on the given project during the analysis. The price is usually around 400 CZK per hour without VAT. The product is a comprehensive analytical report, usually transmitted in digital form.
