The application of the methods indicated in the article comprises the significant supplementation of terrain inspection, considerably expanding knowledge about a given site. The use of digital elevation models has been popular since their introduction, especially in the archaeological community, as it allows for feature recognition without conducting invasive prospection, including excavation. As it has turned out, in the course of the research conducted by the author, the use of LiDAR tools should be an integral part of the geographical analysis. This highlights the need to promote interdisciplinary in the research on cultural heritage sites.}, doi = {10.4467/24512249JG.17.008.6207}, url = {https://ejournals.eu/czasopismo/journal-of-geography-politics-and-society/artykul/surface-prospection-of-burial-grounds-and-new-research-tools-on-the-example-of-the-study-of-changes-in-cemetery-boundaries} }
