Spuren des Abbaus der keramischen Rohstoffe im Einzugsgebiet des Junikower Baches (die Stadt Posen / Polen) basierend auf kartographischen
Traces of Ceramic Raw Materials Exploitation in the Basin of Strumień Junikowski (Poznań, Poland) on Cartographic Sources from the 18th-20th Century

Summary/Abstract: Using plans and maps of Poznań (western Poland) and its surrounding areas from 18th-20th c., there were identified traces of ceramic raw materials exploitation: varve loam and morainic clay in the Junikowski Stream basin, located in the south-west part of the city. As a result of local exploitation that lasted for about 100 years (from the second half of the 19th c. to the 60's of the 20th c.), the bottom and middle sections of the watercourse underwent significant changes, which became a barrier for the developing city. By analysing the content of cartographic sources (graphic marks, explanations, map legend), there were located: brickyards and exploitation sites which included excavations (pits), dry post-excavation pits and ones filled with water. At present, there are about 40 post-excavation pits here, which constitute the fundamental landscape element of Poznań.
