Evens curriculum vitae is remarkable in several ways. One could almost say he has lived three professional lives in one. The first started in early 1950s at the beginning of his professional career during his studies of Egyptology and Archaeology at the Charles University in Prague. As many young scholars of the post-war generation of Czech archaeologists did, he focused on chronological studies based on typology. At the time his main themes were periodization and synchronization of prehistoric cultures, their origin and absolute chronology, including the calibration of radiocarbon dates. However, for him this was the path towards further reconstruction of the past rather than the main aim.
