Abstract | This section focuses on the reconstruction and perception of natural environment and human impact in the border region of the Saxon and Slavonic areas. Out of their interdisciplinary research, the two historians and the archaeologist threw light on the relationship between nature and culture in a transient area of different ethnic groups. The lectures based upon recently completed dissertations, which originated in the scope of the graduate programme 'Graduiertenkolleg Interdisziplinäre Umweltgeschichte' at Georg-August-Universität Göttingen. |
