Units explained
Joch
A joch was a historical Austrian and Hungarian unit of area equal to approximately 5754.6 m² (about 1.42 acres).
The Austrian joch was standardized at 1600 square Klafter (an Austrian unit of length). Used across the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
Jochs appear in historical Austrian, Hungarian, Czech, and other Central European land records. Abolished in favor of metric units during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
Austrian/Hungarian imperial origin; replaced by metric units.
Carucate
A carucate was a medieval English unit of land area equal to approximately 485,623 m² (about 120 acres or 48.6 hectares).
Originated in early medieval England as the area one team of eight oxen could plow in a year. The size varied considerably by soil type and region.
Carucates appear in the Domesday Book and other medieval English land surveys. The unit was used for taxation assessment but was inherently variable due to its agricultural-output basis.
Anglo-Saxon English origin; obsolete by late medieval period.
