| Description | The deserted medieval village of Mstěnice is located in the Czech Republic, in the Vysočina Region, within the Bohemian-Moravian Highlands, at an elevation of approximately 350 meters above sea level. The main focus of this thesis is a comprehensive analysis of the landscape and settlement, with an emphasis on the deserted medieval village of Mstěnice and its cultural-historical context. The development of this area has been traced primarily during the transition to late medieval settlement and from the village's abandonment in 1468 to the present day. The core of the thesis is focused on the development of settlement and its role within the structure of the manor, political and administrative evolution, transformation of the landscape in the High and Late Middle Ages, and the consolidation of the normative village and its surroundings. A combination of traditional historical records and modern non-destructive methods has been used for the systematic analysis of this development. These non-destructive methods include: LiDAR, DTM, field surveys, metal detecting, surface collections, 3D photogrammetry, and GIS modeling of the surroundings. |
