Summary
The main objective of the research is to analyze the potential of prospection data for the determination of spatial organization of archaeological sites. The research will be based on geophysical measurements combined with different types of prospection data in order to present new results on landscape archaeology and land-use patterns. As a result, excavation data and prospection data from early medieval centre places will be compared and analyzed in landscape context. How the spatial arrangements of features are related to the landscape? How can be the different types of prospection data modeled to analyze the dynamic development of centre places?
