Biografia krajobrazu zbiegu Noteci do Warty w perspektywie archeologicznej interpretacji danych teledetekcyjnych/ A landscape biography of the Noteć river’s confluence into the Warta: an archaeological interpretation based on remote sensing data (original) (raw)
This paper presents a case study of a place that during one period in history played an important role in the structures of the Piast state, and then, as a result of subsequent historical events, lost much of its significance. In the 14 th century, Santok was already on the margins of 'grand history' and fading into oblivion. This changed as a result of archaeological excavations carried out here for the first time in the 1930s. The narrative adopted in this article is based on a presentation of landscape biography and analysis of spatial sources-namely, historical aerial photographs and ones deriving from airborne laser scanning. This point of view has allowed the authors to pay special attention to previously neglected fragments of the history of the landscape under analysis.
