Referring to the results of our experimental work, we examined a collection of 46 stone objects found in various contexts. Using microscopic analysis of use-wear, we identified the handstones for grinding grain and plant stalks and also used for pottery production (grog obtaining) and decoration (red pigment powdering). Some of the handstones served for only one purpose, while the other might have been used to process both hard and soft materials. The distribution of the handstones in the settlement area showed that they were strongly associated with household activities which included both food processing and pottery manufacturing.

Thanks to a computer program and properly manipulated 3D models, scientists can test out their research hypotheses, basing on mutual relations between the models. 3D modeling is a priceless tool when it comes to reconstructing archaeological structures and artefacts as well as analyzing and interpreting the past. It allows creating spatial objects that can be processed in various ways. Digital reconstruction technique is targeted at a vast group of recipients, especially those who are not interested in information about the past presented in a descriptive (verbal) form. Such way of communication requires specific knowledge, including specialist terms, as well as imagination, especially so-called historical imagination. 3D visualization is yet a new narration form in archaeology and complements descriptions. In our society, in which cognitive process an image begins to play a dominant role, popularization of the past with the use of digital reconstruction is particularly important. It is the visuality that determines the way we experience and analyze historical knowledge. An image in the form of a reconstruction is complete, comprehensively narrated, which means there is no room for a deeper interpretation. It is the scholar who defines the vision of a reconstructed structure. That is why an author must keep a critical distance towards their analysis when creating a visual message that provides information on cultural heritage. In order to cover the requirement of reliability when constructing a model, it is advised to follow the standards included in the London Charter. The significance of 3D visualization as a method of presenting research hypotheses will be discussed basing on the examples of digital reconstructions of two settlements from the Early Iron Age, discovered in Lower Silesia in SouthWest Poland.

The development in this field took place due to the increase in new sources acquired during rescue excavations conducted on large areas. In studies on the organization of space, not only the quantity, but also the quality of sources is important. In the study of the settlement's organization in Stare Śleszów, GIS tools were used. The purpose of this work is to present a model of a settlement from the early Iron Age in Silesia WSTĘP Każdy człowiek, podobnie jak wszystkie inne istoty żywe, określa swoją przestrzeń egzystencjalną poprzez jej zajmowanie, przekształcanie i nadawanie odpowiedniego znaczenia (Baron 2005, 7 -tam dalsza lit.). Sposób zagospodarowania przestrzeni zależy od ładu panującego w kulturze, w której zawierają się określone wartości, wzorce, poglądy, prawa, obyczaje, znaczenia oraz pojęcia organizujące kształt społeczeństwa, relacje międzyludzkie i stosunek do otaczającego świata. Efektem zagospodarowania przestrzeni są charakterystyczne "miejsca": dom, miejsce pracy, świątynie i cmentarze, które powodują "zakorzenienie". Człowiek, gospodarując w przestrzeni, porządkuje świat zgodnie z przyjętymi wartościami i jednocześnie własnymi zamiarami, tworząc w ten sposób ład przestrzenny, który jest zarazem odpowiednikiem ładu panującego w danym społeczeństwie. Formy przestrzenne wytyczane są przez działania i relacje międzyludzkie, ale również te właśnie formy kształtują odpowiednio ramy ludzkiej działalności (Królikowski, Rylke 2010, 5, 76, 174).
