Abstract

The Battle of Muhi, widely regarded as a major national catastrophe in Hungarian history, has been a focal point of archaeological research for over seven centuries. The investigation of the battlefield landscape and the associated 13th-century settlement system requires an interdisciplinary approach integrating archaeology, military history, and natural sciences. This study presents new GIS-based analytical results together with a synthesis of previous research, focusing on the Kakasvár archaeological site, which may have played a significant role during the period. High-resolution LiDAR-derived digital elevation models and their derivatives, combined with relief enhancement techniques and hydrographic datasets, were used to reconstruct former hydrological systems, enabling the precise spatial identification of the Kakasvár site.
