. Geoarchaeological reconstructions of land-use changes may help to revealdriving cultural factors and incentives behind these processes and relatethem to supra-regional economic and political developments. This isparticularly true in the context of complete abandonment of a settlement.Here we present a case study from the site of Faule Pfutze, a smallcatchment in the Eastern Ore Mountains (Saxony). The historical record ofthis site is confined to the report of a settlement called Hohenwalde in1404 CE and two later references to the then-abandoned settlement in 1492 and1524 CE in this area. Combined geoarchaeological studies allowed for thereconstruction of several phases of land use. While a first phase of alluvialsedimentation occurred during the late 12th century, archaeologicalevidence for a permanent settlement is absent during this period. The onsetof settlement activity is identified during the late 14th century andincluded a hitherto unknown massive stone building. Mining features arepresent nearby and are dated to the early 15th century. The localpalynological record shows evidence for reforestation during themid 15th century and thereby corroborates the time of abandonmentindicated by written sources. These processes are discussed in the context ofa local political conflict (Dohna Feud) leading to the redistribution ofproperties and the development of a mining economy during this time. Laterland use from the mid 16th century onwards appears restricted tocharcoal production, probably in the context of smelting works operating innearby Schmiedeberg as indicated by rising lead concentrations in thealluvial record.
