Sažetak
The paper presents archaeological indicators that testify to the influence of environmental factors on the formation (favourable climate, proximity to water and forests) and reorganization of settlements (due to floods - alluvial deposits), as well as, deposition of colluvial sediments that covered the already abandoned settlement. In it we tried to connect the facts recognized by archaeological research with the findings of interdisciplinary paleoclimatic research and with the research on climate and weather, based on direct and indirect data from written historical sources from the wider Carpathian Basin. The late medieval archaeologically researched settlement at the position of Buzadovec – Vojvodice (NW Croatia) is presented. The settlement was formed at the end of the 12th and the beginning of the 13th century in a lowland landscape, not far from the river course. Frequent floods or a major flood in the late 13th or early 14th century caused the position of the older settlement to be abandoned and moved to the slightly elevated terrain. The settlement was continuously inhabited until about the middle of the 15th century. The reason for the cessation of the settlement's existence has not been determined, but an interesting phenomenon of soil erosion of the neighbouring hill has been recognized, which caused the cultural layers of the abandoned late medieval settlement to be covered with meter-thick deposits of sterile clay.
