Sažetak
The results of the archaeological research of the monastery complex of St Mary the Great near Bale in Istria (Croatia) have greatly contributed to our understanding of the Frankish expansion along the Istrian peninsula at the end of the 8th century. A quarter of a century of the research has been followed by the evolution of research and documentation methodology. In the recent period, the team has been more intensively focused on the archaeological interpretation of the surrounding region in the context of landscape archaeology, and the study of the research potential of various historical cartographic sources for future archaeological research. Although the area of the research is geographically limited, such perspective permits us to reconstruct the original features of the landscape which have persisted in the landscape and have formed a medieval spatial network of the area between the monastery of St Mary the Great and Bale settlement. The objective of this paper is to present the results of spatial analysis of this area carried out at two levels - macro and micro - through the use of geographic information systems, as well as to discuss the research possibilities offered by the ever-growing datafication of the various cartographic material.
