Archeologický nedestruktivní výzkum vodních děl zaniklých po roce 1945

Abstract

The article looks at the issue of research of deserted water-powered constructions of various chronology and technology, used until the mid 20th century in the border regions of Bohemia. The relief features and the remains of the above-ground walls together with information from sources such as archives and photography now allow for the study of the traditional village architecture of the 19th and 20th century, which is itself often linked with older archaeological contexts. Such non-standard sources require a non-standard methodological approach. The non-destructive survey in the vicinity of Kateřinský potok confirmed the continuity of Franc's mill to the 16th century. According to the research results we can assume only some less significant transformations of the mill have taken place.
