🎉 We're delighted to present an article by Maria Legut-Pintal and Anna Kubicka-Sowińska devoted to the search for units of measurement in the plot layouts of 16 medieval towns in Silesia and four from another part of Poland 🏰📐.
The study employed the modular method and the cosine quantogram. The text appeared in the prestigious journal #Archaeometry 🏅:
Exploring the Metric Systems of Medieval New Towns in Central Europe: Reconstruction of Urban Plot Scheme Using Cosine Quantogram and Modular Analysis 📊
The researchers and their team demonstrated, among other things, that there was no single pattern across the studied group of towns. In Silesia, both the Chełmno foot and the Rhenish foot were used 📏. We invite you to read and discuss: link in the comments 📖🗣️
