ABSTRACT

The paper deals with archaeological, osteological and archaeobotanical analysis of the artefacts and ecofacts obtained by excavation in waste landfills from the Second World War. The settlement waste was produced by three communities with different social status, which were connected with the Rolava mining and processing plant in the Ore Mountains in western Bohemia. The plant was built to supply the war industry of the Third Reich with non-ferrous metals, especially tin, and after World War II it was abandoned and turned into a complex archaeological site. The communities settled here included German civilian specialists, but also prisoners of war performing forced labour from the ranks of members of the Allied armies and the Red Army. The interdisciplinary analysis of the settlement waste has brought numerous new insights into one of the most significant modern archaeological sites in Central Europe and everyday life in the context of the largest war conflict in human history.

摘要

该论文涉及对从二战垃圾填埋场挖掘出的人工制品和生态制品进行考古学、骨学和古植物学分析。定居垃圾由三个不同社会地位的社区产生，它们与波希米亚西部矿石山脉的罗拉瓦采矿和加工厂相连。该工厂的建造目的是为第三帝国的军工工业提供有色金属，尤其是锡，二战后它被废弃并变成了一个复杂的考古遗址。在这里定居的社区包括德国文职专家，但也有来自盟军和红军成员进行强迫劳动的战俘。
