. From the mid-14th century CE onwards, extensive soil erosion, caused byintensive agricultural practices, has led to the destruction of landscapestructures in Central Europe. In 2016, the University of Applied Sciences inBerlin investigated the colluvial deposits at the site of Gortz in westernBrandenburg (Germany), which had accumulated on the lower slopes and werecaused by the processes just mentioned. The mapping of each individual archaeological find made it possible toproject all finds onto one profile running along the slope. Transformationof the finds' coordinates from profile view to plan view enabled thevisualization in a Geographical Information System (GIS). The combination ofadjacent strata into larger units using a pedological and sedimentologicalapproach enabled an improved dating of colluvial deposits. In addition, themethod facilitated the dating of historical water levels in the Beetzseechain of lakes, which are part of the Havel river system. As a result, it could be demonstrated that substantial anthropogenicactivity, such as clay quarrying and bank straightening, took place duringthe Late Slavic Period. An interlocking horizon of colluvial and lacustrinedeposits indicates that the water level of the lake Oberer Beetzsee rose from avalue under 29.4 m above sea level (a.s.l.) in the 11th/12th century CE toapproximately 29.8 m a.s.l. in the 13th century CE. However, isolatedflooding events during the 13th century CE can be recorded up to a height of30.5 m a.s.l. A modern colluvial deposit of 1 m in thicknessindicates an acute endangerment of the archaeological site by modernagriculture.
