Instruments for diagnostic and treatment purposes from the la Tène period in Central Europe.

Sources of knowledge of treatment practices in the La Tène period in Central Europe are limited. Archaeologists very often classify findings on the basis of their personal opinions which are not substantiated by evidence. The theories that have been proposed so far are not widely accepted by the academics. Artefacts that are expected to be used for diagnostics and treatment are not usually chosen to deduce the form and processes of therapeutic practice in the La Tène period. The main issue of the topic is the possibility to distinguish between tools for therapeutic procedures and artefacts created for other purposes. However, there is also the question of whether it is possible to distinguish between tools originating from Central Europe and tools originating in the Roman or Greek environment, artefacts which originated in the studied period from medieval or modern objects, and the real artefacts, for which there are no suitable analogies, from counterfeits created in the 18th‒19th centuries. For this purpose, specific debatable sets of artefacts are used. The goal of the research is to clarify the real purpose of the examined artefacts, for which it was previously proposed that they were used for therapy or diagnostics in the La Tène period. The results of the review and analysis of the artefacts have their explanatory ability about the state of practice in the studied geographical area.Sources of knowledge of treatment practices in the La Tène period in Central Europe are limited.

Artefacts identified as medical instruments of the Iron Age or the Roman Age from, what is known today as, the Czech Republic, Slovakia and the Lower Austria - North of the Danube

(česky) Cílem práce je předložit katalog artefaktů z doby železné a římské nalezených na území dnešní České republiky, Slovenské republiky a naddunajské části Dolního Rakouska, které byly interpretovány jako lékařské nástroje. Na základě rešerše písemných zdrojů byla provedena analýza pojmů "lékař" a "lékařský", jejich původu a oprávněnosti využití u artefaktů z doby železné a římské, u nichž je předpokládán původní účel pro diagnostiku a léčbu. Je podán stručný přehled druhového a tvarového spektra artefaktů interpretovaných jako lékařské nástroje v prostředí Evropy a sestaven katalog artefaktů z doby železné a římské na zkoumaném území, které byly interpretovány jako lékařské nástroje. U jednotlivých artefaktů je kriticky přehodnoceno, zda mohly sloužit k léčebným nebo diagnostickým účelům.(in English): The aim of this thesis is to present a catalogue of artefacts identified as medical instruments of the Iron Age, or the Roman Age, from what is known today as the Czech Republic, Slovakia and the Lower Austria - North of the Danube. This thesis presents results from the analysis of the terms "physician" and "medical", their origin and legitimacy of use for artefacts from the La Tène period and the Roman Age, for which the original purpose is assumed to be diagnosis and treatment. A brief overview of the types and the variety of shapes of the artefacts, interpreted as medical instruments in the European environment, was presented and a catalogue of artefacts of the Iron Age or the Roman Age, from the territory under examination, which were identified as medical instruments, was compiled. The individual artefacts were critically reviewed, and it was decided whether they could have been used for therapeutic or diagnostic purposes.Ústav pro archeologiiInstitute of ArchaeologyFilozofická fakultaFaculty of Art
