The article presents the latest results of the search for the first location of abandoned medieval town Toruń (Ger. Thorn), conducted in 2017–2018 by an interdisciplinary research team. Noninvasive research, including aerial, surface and geophysical prospection and geological soil coring, was preceded by archival and library queries and analysis of historical written and cartographic sources as well as contemporary remote-sensing digital images. These all pointed clearly to an area to the west of Toruń, north of the entrance to the Wood Port on the Vistula. A systematic aerial survey led to the discovery of an extensive anthropogenic structure in this area. Magnetic gradiometry survey revealed anomalies typical of human activity that were interpreted as, among other things, the remains of moats and buildings indicating the area of the town's first location. Their physical character was confirmed through geological tests. Moreover, the existence of an embankment surrounding the town is suggested by the traces of an alluvial fan formed within the fortifications by flooding. The authors point out the limitation of the possibility to identify such sites by field walking-method within the methodology of the Polish Archaeological Record. The acquired results provide strong grounds for a continuation in the form of further interdisciplinary archaeological research.

利用综合非侵入性研究揭示波兰废弃的中世纪小镇托伦的第一个位置

文章介绍了寻找被遗弃的中世纪小镇托伦（Ger. Thorn ）第一个位置的最新结果)，由一个跨学科研究团队于 2017-2018 年进行。非侵入性研究，包括航空、地表和地球物理勘探以及地质土壤取芯，之前是对历史书面和制图资源以及当代遥感数字图像的档案和图书馆查询和分析。这些都清楚地指向了托伦以西的一个区域，在维斯瓦河的伍德港入口以北。系统的航空调查导致在该地区发现了广泛的人为结构。磁梯度测量揭示了人类活动的典型异常，这些异常被解释为护城河和建筑物的遗迹，表明该镇第一个位置的区域。它们的物理特性通过地质测试得到证实。而且，洪水在防御工事内形成的冲积扇痕迹暗示了该镇周围存在堤防。作者指出了在波兰考古记录的方法中通过野外步行法识别此类遗址的可能性的局限性。获得的结果为进一步跨学科考古研究的继续提供了坚实的基础。
