ABSTRACT
This chapter demonstrates that the necessity of interdisciplinary cooperation in solving problems associated with settlement geography in the early Middle Ages. It analyses the preference for the investigation of smaller settlement territories on the mesostructural and microstructural levels, primarily as regional analyses. Various aspects of settlement geography – that is, the study of the development, forms, and structures of early historic settlement – have been among the most frequently discussed problems of medieval studies in general, including the archaeology of the Slavs. There are two large groups of site accumulation within the whole territory. The first consists of localities situated close to the Vltava and to the mouths of its tributary streams in the territory of Sedlec-Kralupy. The second is a concentration of find spots west of the middle Zakolansky Brook and its tributaries, where the density of finds per square kilometre is the same as in the first area.
