Dynamika krajobrazu poniemieckich wsi w Polsce centralnej. Eksperyment kartograficzny
The dynamics of the landscape of post-German villages in central Poland. A cartographic experiment

Summary/Abstract: The aim of the article is to present the heuristic value of application of Google Earth Pro computer program in historical-anthropological research on the landscape dynamics. The author proposes a method known as a ‘cartographic experiment’, which generates two-layer images called ‘anachronistic images’. The first layer is a satellite photo and the second is a historical map of the same place. This method accurately locates objects from the past in contemporary satellite imagery. The examples shown by the author come from research on the dynamics of the rural post-German landscape in central Poland.
