Abstract

This study examines plot divisions and units of measurement in regular medieval new towns in Central Europe, with a particular focus on historical Silesia. By applying the cosine quantogram method alongside GIS-referenced cartographic sources and modular analysis, the research reconstructs the spatial organization of urban layouts. The results reveal the diversity of measurement systems used in town planning. By integrating historical records with digital approaches, this study contributes to a deeper understanding of medieval metrological practices and demonstrates the method's effectiveness in reconstructing spatial structures and its potential for broader applications in historical urbanism.

探索中世纪中欧新城的公制体系：用余弦图和模分析重建城市地块方案

本研究考察了中欧普通中世纪新城镇的地块划分和测量单位，特别关注历史上的西里西亚。利用余弦图方法，结合参考gis的地图资源和模块化分析，重构城市布局的空间组织。研究结果揭示了城市规划中使用的测量系统的多样性。通过将历史记录与数字方法相结合，本研究有助于加深对中世纪计量实践的理解，并证明了该方法在重建空间结构方面的有效性及其在历史城市化中更广泛应用的潜力。

期刊介绍： Archaeometry is an international research journal covering the application of the physical and biological sciences to archaeology, anthropology and art history. Topics covered include dating methods, artifact studies, mathematical methods, remote sensing techniques, conservation science, environmental reconstruction, biological anthropology and archaeological theory. Papers are expected to have a clear archaeological, anthropological or art historical context, be of the highest scientific standards, and to present data of international relevance. The journal is published on behalf of the Research Laboratory for Archaeology and the History of Art, Oxford University, in association with Gesellschaft für Naturwissenschaftliche Archäologie, ARCHAEOMETRIE, the Society for Archaeological Sciences (SAS), and Associazione Italian di Archeometria.
