Jan Bouzek – a man of many parts

Summary/Abstract: Jan Bouzek’s interests in the ancient world were wide and varied, ranging from Greek and Ro man art, architecture and sculpture, through the Iron Age cities of Thrace, the Etruscans, the material culture of the Caucasus, the Aegean Bronze Age, to the prehistory of central Europe. The latter came about through his studies in the Prehistorický ústav [Institute of Prehistory] under Jan Filip, where so many of the prehistoric archaeologists of the Czech Lands studied in the 1950s; the classical studies through the Ústav pro klasickou archeologii [Institute of Classical Archaeology] under Antonín Salač and Jiří Frel. These studies gave him a wide range of exper tise, which he put to good use throughout his academic career. He was also deeply interested in and knowledgeable about philosophy, music, and literature in general.
