All findings of the project have been documented on this website and also described and analyzed in a series of articles available under the "Publications" tab. Two books are also in the final stages of preparation: one is a collection of articles from an online conference (see the "Conference" tab), the other is a summary of the project findings (planned to be published in two language versions, Polish and Czech).

Generally speaking, the working hypotheses of the project were confirmed: although the results obtained by using different methods are not identical, they are also not contradictory and so can be said to complement one another. Moreover, the testing of various methods and the creation of tools for using them also represents a significant result of the project.

Work was scheduled from August 2012 to August 2015, then was extended to February 2016. Different pages on this website date from different times during this period: some were created at the research planning stage (and therefore use the future tense), while others discuss parts of the research that had already been carried out. We have decided not to try to make these texts more uniform, so as to retain their documentary value.
