Fortification, mining, and charcoal production: landscape history at the abandoned medieval settlement of Hohenwalde at the Faule Pfütze (Saxony, Eastern Ore Mountains)
Abstract. Geoarchaeological reconstructions of land-use changes may help to reveal
driving cultural factors and incentives behind these processes and relate
them to supra-regional economic and political developments. This is
particularly true in the context of complete abandonment of a settlement.
Here we present a case study from the site of Faule Pfütze, a small
catchment in the Eastern Ore Mountains (Saxony). The historical record of
this site is confined to the report of a settlement called Hohenwalde in
1404 CE and two later references to the then-abandoned settlement in 1492 and
1524 CE in this area. Combined geoarchaeological studies allowed for the
reconstruction of several phases of land use. While a first phase of alluvial
sedimentation occurred during the late 12th century, archaeological
evidence for a permanent settlement is absent during this period. The onset
of settlement activity is identified during the late 14th century and
included a hitherto unknown massive stone building. Mining features are
present nearby and are dated to the early 15th century. The local
palynological record shows evidence for reforestation during the
mid 15th century and thereby corroborates the time of abandonment
indicated by written sources. These processes are discussed in the context of
a local political conflict (Dohna Feud) leading to the redistribution of
properties and the development of a mining economy during this time. Later
land use from the mid 16th century onwards appears restricted to
charcoal production, probably in the context of smelting works operating in
nearby Schmiedeberg as indicated by rising lead concentrations in the
alluvial record.
