Teren rynku miasta Lublina w okresie średniowiecza i w czasach wczesnonowożytnych. Archeologiczny szkic do portretu stratygraficznego

The main purpose of the presentation is the reconstruction of the town square levels during the Middle Ages and the Renaissance based on archaeological excavations. The oldest settlement level found on the loess substratum (Level I) is represented by early medieval (8-11th century) stratigraphic layers. The thickness of functional level from the Middle Ages (Level II), since the second half of the 12th until 13/14th century, and the presence of a large number of sunken features shows that the town square was a commonly used area. An unusual level was the result of the process of levelling it with daub (Level III) in the first half of the 14th century. The late medieval level (Level IV) is connected with the construction of the town hall and the process of hardening the ground around it. Three levels of stone pavements covering the entire area of the town square can be found on the 16th century level (Level V).
