Veronika Dulíková focuses on history, archaeology, and above all in society, material culture, prosopography, administration and Complex Network Analyses in the Old Kingdom. She created and maintains the database named Maat-base comprising data on more than 8,000 Old Kingdom officials, their titles and family relations. She applies the Complex Network Analysis method to the Old Kingdom society in close collaboration with mathematicians. Since 2010, she has been a member of archaeological missions in Egypt (Abusir).
Current project: Titles and bones of ancient Egyptian officials: New mathematical approach to analysing Old Kingdom data, 2024–2028, Czech Science Foundation, Junior Star, No. 24-10275M (Principal Investigator: Veronika Dulíková). The interdisciplinary project integrating the methods of systematic data collecting and complex network analysis with anthropological study of particular individuals buried at Giza and Abusir enables us to view, newly interconnect and evaluate known data using new perspectives that significantly expand and deepen our knowledge of ancient Egyptian society at a number of levels: an individual (physical appearance, physical activity, career length) – the family or community (family ties, nepotism) – the whole society/population (demography, changes over time).
