Considerații geografice privind geneza orașului medieval în Moldova Centrală [Some geographic remarks regarding the emergence of the medieval towns in Central Moldavia]

Journal Title: Arheologia Moldovei - Year 2018, Vol 41, Issue 1

Abstract

The emergence and evolution of medieval towns and cities in the central region of Moldavia has its peculiarities, which are mainly due to location, acces to resources and ease of communication. All of these may be explained either by geographical settings or by historical constraints shaped by geography and topography. The paper summarizes the main issues that can be approached from the point of view of historical geography, wiz. medieval sources (narrative and cartographical, including explanations of this process, as given by early authors) and primary utilizations of geographical data in establishing patterns of emergence and evolution of medieval Moldavian towns.
