Abstract

3D Reconstruction as a Form of Interpretation: Example of Excavation of the Medieval Peťuša Castle (Central Slovakia)

Highlights

  • In Slovakia in recent years there has been a great number of excavations of castles from the Middle Ages or Modern Era

  • This article aims to point out the possibilities of using 3D technology for the analysis and subsequent interpretation of the Peťuša Castle disposition

  • Gathered finds from the courtyard were primarily dated to the second half of the 15th century and were assumed to be related to the period associated with the activity of Jan Jiskra and his army in the Zvolen area, or more precisely in central Slovakia

Summary

Introduction

A very small number of castles are being solely excavated for scientific and documentation purposes, for example, with its primary focus being the revealing of our forgotten history. The ruins of the Peťuša Castle (cadastre of Ostrá Lúka) near Zvolen in Central Slovakia can serve as an illustrative example (Figure 1). The first excavation of Peťuša Castle was carried out in 1997. It was a short one-day prospection of the castle courtyard combined with a field and metal-detector survey (Hanuliak, 2006). Gathered finds from the courtyard were primarily dated to the second half of the 15th century and were assumed to be related to the period associated with the activity of Jan Jiskra and his army in the Zvolen area, or more precisely in central Slovakia
