Abstract	The present session aims at addressing the research field of the Byzantino-Serbian border zones in Byzantine Macedonia in the 13th and 14th centuries not only through the lens of written sources like medieval charters, but especially through the toponymy of the region, artefacts of the Serbian rulers and/or nobility (like swords, rings etc.) and the remnants of Signs of Power in the respective landscape (like fortresses etc.). This holistic approach helps us to understand not only the materialities of the area of research, but also their setting from the viewpoint of the spatial context. The session will combine the scholarly fields of Byzantine Studies, Medieval Studies, Historical Geography, Geography, Cartography, GIS and GIScience and introduce to the public, in which way different layers of data can be combined and visualised for academia and the interested public.
