Item type:Article, Access status: Open Access , Badania mineralogiczne historycznych nawarstwień wybranych obszarów Krakowa jako podstawa rekonstrukcji przeszłości(Wydawnictwa AGH, 2009) Pawlikowski, Maciej ; Such, JoannaMineralogical investigations of sediments from different parts of town provide many new and interesting information. Mineralogical-petrographical methods, which are used to determine both elements building sediments and characteristic of relics that can be found in those sediments, are very important in those investigations. A mineralogical investigation of anthropogenic sediments was performed using a polarizing light microscope. The investigations were focused on profiles representing sediments containing relics of the functioning metallurgical workshop (Krupnicza 7 St.), plasters, bricks and pottery representing the XIV and XVIII centuries (Main Market Square of Kraków), as well as on anthropogenic sediments surrounding the foundation of Reformaci Monastery, located at the centre of town. The performed investigation proved usefulness of mineralogical research for reconstruction of historical phenomenon as well as for practical works concerning preservation and reconstruction of architectonic objects.
