OSÍDLENIE V MIKROREGIÓNE POTOKA JARČ NA STREDNOM (DOLNOM) POVAŽÍ

Choosing section on the micro-region of the stream basin of Jarč for analysis was motivated with the variability of natural environment elements and density of archaeological sources. Hydrologic criterion of the stream Jarč was the basic element in defining the area. The work process consisted of assembly, supplementations and clarification of available archaeological and geographical information on the micro-region. Subsequent digitizing, vectorization and data analysis was carried out in a GIS environment. The output of the predictive model is a map of potential occurrence of archaeological sites in each area. The predictive model indicates that inhabitants used the same landscape features from the Neolithic up to the Early Middle Ages. Some differences were observed in burial places in the Roman Period centralized on locations with low potential. Probably the other factors than the natural environment played an important role in establishing cemeteries (social, religious, etc.) However, these are hardly recognizable.
