Description Early-mediaeval centres needed for their existence a number of materials used for the manufacture of tools, weapons, kitchenware, clothes, jewellery, etc. Foodstuffs were essential, both homegrown and purchased from elsewhere. Three raw materials were crucial for the construction of a settlement of this kind: wood, clay and stone. Iron was vital for working instruments. The contribution attempts to outline the required amount (volume and weight) of these materials, their deposits (close and distant) and transport. The model estimate is based on archaeological and environmental sources yielded by archaeological research carried out on the site and the surroundings in the last fifty years.
