The Archaeology of Borderlands: North Western Anatolia in the Early Ottoman Period (2015)
Anatolia in the Early Ottoman Period and its socio-political transformations and interactions represented the temporal and spatial rhythms of inseparable structures between new comers and locals. As populations moved and interacted locally and regionally in the Western Anatolian borderlands, these rhythms through their crossing and exchanges set the stage for a network of interconnections among regional groups. This network functioned in a dynamic history of political consolidation of Turkmens...
Changes in the structure of village settlement in the Late Medieval and Early Modern periods in South Bohemia as a result of transformations in land use systems (2013)

Historical archaeology in eastern Baltic: some trends and problems (2013)
The archaeology of the recent past (e.g. post-1500) in the eastern Baltic is a rather young area for material culture researchers. Only in the last 15-20 years has post-medieval archaeology gained some attention among archaeologists in the Baltic States, with the primary focus on military objects and certain types of artefacts. To date, no extensive theoretical discussion has been initiated, and the majority of research has limited connection with lobal historical archaeology. There are various...

Therefore, I try to reveal reasons, trends and also motivations within and behind these processes. This research focuses on three regions in the Czech Republic...
