Paleoekologický záznam stredovekého a novovekého osídlení v nivních sedimentech na pomezí Jevišovické pahorkatiny a Dyjsko-svrateckého úvalu

Abstract

To explore the evolution of landscape in the Middle Ages and Modern Times, samples were taken from sedimentary infills in floodplains of the Únanovka and Jevišovka streams for the purpose of macroremains, palynological and malacozoological analyses. According to the data obtained, the Jevišovka section reflects the development from the High Middle Ages to the Modern Times. The Únanovka 3 section is only related to Modern Times, namely to the time span from the 17th century onward. From literary and archaeological sources it was found out that settlement structure in the region became stabilised at the turn between the Early and High Middle Ages, and this condition lasts until today. High medieval sediments in the Jevišovka borehole contain a large volume of macroremains from various ecological groups; woody species and forest plants occur sporadically. The 14th century layer contained buckwheat. Higher situated layers are dominated by ruderal and segetal plant species with wetland and)
