За селищата в землището на село Градец, Видинско (ХІV–началото на ХVІІІ в.)
For the settlements in the area of Gradets, near Vidin, Bulgaria (from the 14th to the beginning of the 18th centuries)

Summary/Abstract: The history of medieval settlements is difficult to trace, as the information about them is small, often legendary and contradictory. In rare cases archaeological research has been carried out on their territory, and in most cases the finds are accidentally found by non-specialists, making it difficult for dating. In addition, the settlements were not static settlements, and there has often been a displacement of the village on the area or on a wider territory. To track trends in settlement history, this study focuses on the area of a particular village. The information about the settlements in the localities around Gradets, near Vidin, is in different sources. They are documentary, archeological or related to local legends or occasional finds. Although they do not provide a complete picture of the settlement history, they give an opportunity to do important conclusions into the population’s displacement in the area.
