The southern slopes of Bohor represent an area where exceptional soil fertility intertwines with rich cultural heritage. However, due to intensive agricultural use and other anthropogenic interventions, the archaeological record is gradually being lost, reducing the possibilities for discovering and protecting yet unknown sites.
This master’s thesis focuses on the area around Senovo, where, by using existing archaeological data and modern remote sensing methods—particularly airborne laser scanning (LiDAR)—it examines the archaeological character of the landscape. The analysis is based on a comparison between known archaeological sites and newly identified potential locations recognized through spatial data, as well as on an assessment of the impact of anthropogenic activities, such as coal mining, on the preservation and understanding of archaeological heritage.
The outcome of the thesis is a catalogue of archaeological sites, complemented by cartographic annexes, which enable a systematic overview of the studied area. In this way, the thesis contributes to a better understanding of the dynamics of landscape transformation over time and highlights the importance of using modern technologies in the protection and preservation of archaeological heritage.
