Aerial Surveys of the Earthwork Castle in Czermno. Preliminary Interpretations and Reconstructions of the Early Medieval Elements of the Settlement Complex

Abstract

Author explores the possibilities of aerial survey over the Early Medieval settlement complex, including castle at Czermno on the Polish-Ukrainian border. Aerial investigations allowed to detect moats and ditches, jetty, earthwork castle buildings, dwellings on the suburb, roads, piers and other constructions. Now it is possible to integrate historical data, results of excavations and mentioned aerial survey into a reconstructed picture of Cherven/Czerwień, presumed capital of Rotburgenland.
