| Description | The area of the Slovak-Polish border in the Carpathians is currently covered by extensive forests, under which are hidden the relics of many historical events that took place in this now sparsely populated area in previous centuries. Particularly significant are the traces of three war conflicts, which carved countless kilometres of overlapping trenches in the mountains. It was the uprising of the Bar Confederation (1768–1772) and both World Wars. The best method of mapping such extensive forest areas seems to be the Airborne Laser Scanning (ALS), but due to the still unpublished data for NE Slovakia, the possibilities of knowledge are limited to the border areas which are included in the data from Poland. The aim of this contribution is to describe the way of working with data in space and their use in an effort to chronologically and typologically distinguish relics and place them in the context of historical events. |
