Eugen Strouhal dating history

Details

Eugen Strouhal (also called Evžen Strouhal; 24 January 1931 – 20 October 2016) was a Czech anthropologist, archaeologist, physician and museum curator. He contributed to the establishment of the scientific field of paleopathology and was mainly involved in research on Ancient Egypt. He worked at the Czechoslovak Institute of Egyptology of Charles University (today the Czech Institute of Egyptology), subsequently at the Náprstek Museum of Asian, African and American Cultures, and later also at the First Faculty of Medicine of Charles University in Prague. Since he was a practicising Catholic who advocated an ecumenical approach to Christianity and rejected joining the Communist Czechoslovak Party, Strouhal "was not considered for a higher ranking position at that time [in his career]" by the ruling communist Czechoslovak government.
