  Projects:
  • Non-destructive methods of aerial photography and its uses for research, documentation and cultural heritage management of the historical landscape in Bohemia. (1994-96, GAČR, č. 404/94/1006). /Aim of the project is application of the aerial photography method for the study of prehistoric landscape, topography and typology of settlement forms. Information provided by aerial survey proved the importance of not-yet-known types of buried prehistoric and medieval anthropogenic features. During the project an Archive of aerial photos and a database were found.)
  • Settlement area of prehistoric Bohemia. Contribution of non-destructive methods of archaeological research (1997-2002, GAČR 404/97/K024). /The aim of the project is the study of principal features of settlement net in Bohemian area, its relation to environment, demographic parameters, internal structure, time continuity and causes of changes. Practical nonfunctional aspects of spatial distribution of prehistoric areas and the role of current research character for conditioning existing records are included. Remarkable progress in the study of these problems is the main goal of the project. Application of aerial photography as well as other nondestructive methods of research (survey, geophysics), databases, and uncommon computer analysis of spatial data (GIS) are methods used with the project./
