Šantrůčková, M. & Fanta, V., 2014. Příspěvek k lokalizaci zaniklé české vesnice Elizabeta v rumunském Banátu. Český lid – etnologický časopis – Ethnological Journal, 101(3), pp.279 – 298.
The article proposes some possible localizations of the extinct village
Elizabeta in Romanian Banat. This village was founded as the fi rst of the relatively
lar...
Human populations tend to grow steadily, because of the ability of people to make innovations, and thus overcome and extend the limits imposed by natural resources. It is therefore questionable whether traditional concepts of population ecology, including environmental carrying capacity, can be applied to human societies. The existence of carrying...
Is there some kind of historical memory and folk wisdom that ensures that a community remembers about very extreme phenomena, such as catastrophic floods, and learns to establish new settlements in safer locations? We tested a unique set of empirical data on 1293 settlements founded in the course of nine centuries, during which time seven extreme f...
The integration of archaeological, historical and geoarchaeological records represents a significant contribution to research into the medieval landscape. This study focuses on the medieval field system in the deserted village of Debrné, located in northeastern Bohemia, Czechia. The village features a well-preserved croft plužina field system, a ty...
Výzkumná zpráva shrnuje výsledky grantového projektu „Regulace stavební činnosti v chráněných krajinných oblastech (CHKO)“, který byl podpořen v rámci programu TA ČR ÉTA. Projekt byl řešen na půdě Centra pro teoretická studia Univerzity Karlovy, kde propojil odborníky z oborů teorie a praxe architektury, sociologie, ochrany přírody a krajiny a pamá...
Land consolidation (LC) is a widespread form of rural planning and is often presented as an important tool for mitigating land degradation. We therefore decided to make a systematic review of the effects of LC projects implemented under different natural and socioeconomic conditions. Our results show that there is a major dichotomy in the understan...
CZ: V jihozápadním Rumunsku se nachází enkláva několika českých vesnic, založených při kolonizaci před dvěma staletími. Jednou z nich byla i Elizabeta (Alžběta), která zanikla asi dvě dekády po svém vzniku – zřejmě kvůli nedostatku vody. Článek se zamýšlí nad metodami rekonstrukce využití ploch uvnitř vesnice včetně indikace pomocí rostlin.

The Czech and English language versions of the book summarise the results of a five-year project by a team of landscape ecologists, archaeologists and historical geographers on the topic of historical field systems (Plužinas) in an accessible way for the general public. The preserved remnants of historical agricultural landscapes are valuable histo...
An amendment to this paper has been published and can be accessed via a link at the top of the paper.
Historical field systems are an essential part of the traditional cultural landscape of societies with primarily agricultural subsistence. They embody many functions and values, as they affect the productional, ecological and hydrological functioning of the landscape, its cultural values, the way people perceive the landscape, and their impact on p...
Settlement history is an interdisciplinary topic which connects history, archaeology, paleoecology, historical geography and other scientific disciplines. In Central Europe, one of important questions regards the dating of origin of medieval settlements. In 2020, our team published a study comparing the dating obtained from medieval written records...
Abstrakt: Článek představuje problematiku historických plužin v české krajině s důrazem na pojmenování kulturních i přírodních hodnot plužin (zejména s ohledem na zadržování vody v krajině) a možností ochrany plužin dle současné legislativy. Dále prezentujeme aktuálně řešený projekt NAKI a jeho výstupy použitelné v praxi při navrhování komplexních...
This paper focuses on the combination of geochemical methods and old map analysis to study
landscape and settlement development. It is well known that historical land use of abandoned rural
settlements affects soil chemistry and vegetation composition. We wanted to find out whether it is
possible to distinguish various historical land uses when we...
In various research fields, from archaeology to landscape history and ecology, it is important to know the date of the origin of historical settlements (i.e. towns, villages, hamlets, isolated farms) as precisely as possible. In Central Europe, there are two primary ways to obtain the date when a settlement was founded: “historical dating” (based o...

The original aim of this thesis was to study the influence of environmental conditions on settlement history (more precisely: on selected processes in settlement history). Simultaneously, I wanted to use the “ecological” approach, i.e. to work with bigger data sets and apply solid statistical pro-cessing. In total, we investigated 3 sub-questions o...

The article proposes some possible localizations of the extinct village Elizabeta in Romanian Banat. This village was founded as the first of the relatively large Czech colonization wave at the beginning of the 1820s that led to the mountainous area of Banat by the river Donau. The newly founded settlement was rather unstable and Elizabeta had foug...
