Theses: Možnosti geochemické analýzy pro poznání zaniklých výrobních areálů v horském prostředí

Good day,

This archive contains datasets and data-processing workflows used in my master’s thesis entitled:

“Možnosti geochemické analýzy pro poznání zaniklých výrobních areálů v horském prostředí”
(University of Hradec Králové, Czech Republic).

The thesis focuses on the identification and interpretation of archaeological sites using geochemical survey methods (portable XRF) and granulometric analysis, combined with statistical data processing.

Contents of the ZIP archive:

1) Raw data:
   - “surová data granulometrie” – raw granulometric measurements
   - “surová data XRF” – raw portable XRF measurements

   Raw data were only divided into datasets according to analytical method and locality; no statistical processing was applied.

2) Processed XRF datasets:
   - “Hamr Dolní Dvůr XRF”
   - “Milíře Strážné XRF”
   - “Montánní objekty Sklenařovice XRF”

   These datasets include processed values used for statistical analyses and spatial interpretation in the thesis.

3) Processed granulometric datasets:
   - “Hamr Dolní Dvůr granulometrie”
   - “Milíře Strážné granulometrie”

   These datasets were used as supporting evidence for the interpretation of geochemical results.

4) Documentation:
   - Folder “práce s daty” contains a chapter from the thesis (in Czech language) describing all mathematical, statistical, and data-processing steps applied to the datasets, ensuring transparency and reproducibility of results.

Second file : "ICP reference dataset"

This excel file contains dataset of  16 samples analysed by ICP and grouped by individual sites. This dataset serves to confirm the geochemical trends observed in the XRF data using a more precise laboratory analytical method.
