Project Results

This project was realized in two relaticvely independent lines.
A. Study on the battle of Třebel 1647.
The financial sources of the GAUK fund were used 1/ on translation of the description of the Swedish campaign in 1647 (published in Theatrum Europaeum); 2/ on aerial photo coverage of the battlefield; 3/ on the geodetical documentation of the filed fortification relicts, creation of its 3D models; 4/ on creation of the 3D model of the whole battlefield based on satellite photographies; 5/ on the processing of the archaeological research results and, as well, on special analysis of some artifacts; 6/ on the geodetical documentation and 3D models of the relicts from the Swedish siege lager above the Kynžvart castle.
B. Cultural evolution of the landscape of the Třebel batlefield since prehistory till present.
Within the frame of the project, we finished the surface exploration of the battlefield; we performed a close-up geodetical documentation and 3D models of some relicts of abandoned agricultural areas. In SÚA (Central State archieve) Prague we realized a scanning of the 15 indication cadastral sketches of the battlefield area from 19th century.
