The lecture, held on December 5th for students of the Elementary School of Arts Polanka nad Odrou, Kyjovice branch, presented an introduction to the topic of the oldest ornaments and jewellery in prehistory. Participants became familiar with the most common materials used for their production – from stone, bone and antler, through amber and shell, to metals such as copper, bronze and gold. The presentation focused on the transformation of raw materials throughout prehistory, the role of jewellery in the lives of prehistoric people, and specific archaeological finds that allow us to reconstruct the aesthetic perception of ancient communities. In this way, the lecture offered an accessible insight into the cultural and aesthetic roots of jewellery, from the earliest natural materials to the more sophisticated production techniques of the Bronze Age.
