Course objectives
The main objective of this course is to inform students about material culture of the protohistorical period (from the late hallstat period to the late migration period, i.e. from the 5th. B.C. to the 2nd. half of the 6th. century A.D.). Selected groups of finds will be illustrated in chronological appearance. At the end of this course students should be able to recognize and classify individual finds from the archeological contexts (settlemental, funeral...). Students should test out their knowledge on the archeological materials in the deposits of our Institute and other archeological institutions.
