BIO

Jan Horák studied Archaeology and Physical Geography, he got PhD in Ecology at Czech University of Life Sciences in 2016 (thesis: Risk elements contamination in Kutná Hora region and its use in palaeoenvironmental research) and in Archaeology at Charles University in 2018 (thesis: Medieval society and landscape, their reciprocal relationship and influencing). He is focused on environmental archaeology, environment perception in the past and on human-soil interaction (especially agricultural and mining impact). In this research area he is working mainly with geochemical methods and with that he also aims to use spatial analyses, (geo)statistics and GIS mainly in the R Statistical environment. His field research activities focus mainly on abandoned medieval settlement in Central Europe. Jan is the WG 3 Leader of COST Action SAGA.
