Cíle předmětu
Peace-treaties, battlefield archaeology and castle-ruins are the foremost visible material remains of medieval conflicts. The seminary deals with many more material remains and alternative data-gathering methods for historical research. Results of Archeometry or Geospatial Information Systems enable researchers to draw a more holistic view of the medieval life and landscape to use as a launch pad for text-based research and to broaden the perception-categories of the well-established historical disciplines. In the seminary, we will approach medieval conflict-research from this point of view. We will investigate how material remains and archaeological data may be used in historical research. We compare medieval conflict-research methods with modern concepts and data-backgrounds for contemporary conflict analysis.
