| Title | Bone Working in Buda between the Fifteenth-Seventeenth Century |
| Summary | Excavations in the Buda Castle District have unearthed a large amount of worked osseous raw materials over the past half a century. This thesis examines the crafting activities associated with the use of hard osseous raw materials such as bone, antler and horn in the area of the Castle District based on the finds from five excavations. In addition to the archaeological finds, written, documentary and visual sources also contain a vast amount of information, often in indirect form, which, when examined together, provide a comprehensive picture of medieval craftsmanship. Through the analysis of the finds, the aim of this thesis is to map the specialization of the crafts present in medieval and early modern Buda and to investigate the range of various use, methods and processes of working the raw materials. Conversely, the interdisciplinary nature of the research and the combined use of different types of sources also offer the possibility of uncovering certain interconnections and additional information on medieval and early modern Buda craftsmen and their operation. |
