摘要

Extensive copper mining took place during the Medieval times and the early modern period, within the so-called Bernstein-Rechnitzer Window, which was followed by intensive antimony mining from the 19th century onward. The locations of the 19th- and 20th-century mines are known thanks to old maps. Today the mines are hardly recognizable in the landscape because approximately two-thirds of the Bernstein-Rechnitzer Window are forest area or the mines have already been forgotten. However, airborne laser scanning (ALS) makes it possible to identify old mining structures such as spoil heaps and pits, as well as building remains. During field surveys, the ALS data can be compared with the local conditions. In addition, individual slag and ore fragments have been collected and were analyzed by metallographically.
