Original Abstract

GIS in medieval archeology it is the topic of this paper. The aim of this project is a location of community called Kocanov, which disappeared in the Middle Ages in the ArcGIS and creating a prediction, which is based on characteristics of human activity and their relation to space. Estimation of habitual area of the community in the Middle Ages is based on spatial analysis and presents new opportunities in classical archeology. In this work there are described various procedures of making archaeological prediction model. Formation model is to use the features of the hydrological modeling, the distance from water sources, steep terrain, the visibility of the observed points. Result of the analysis is focused on determining the appropriate settlement location. The resulting localization is compared to historical sources and analyzed using the archaeological works. Interpretation and evaluation of results achieved is the starting point for new opportunities, which would lead to more detailed identification of potential archaeological sites.
