Description

The contribution addresses the archaeological investigation of an unmarked prisoner of war’s grave from the First World War, discovered in the Mala Pišnica Valley, thus confirming oral testimonies about its existence. Based on testimonies and other sources, the location of the grave was identified, and the research results illustrate a significant integration of various types of sources and the crucial role of archaeology and physical anthropology in dealing with human remains from the First World War. The information acquired complements the knowledge about the victims of the First World War in the Vršič area, while simultaneously raising new questions about the potential existence of similar unmarked graves in the area between Kranjska Gora and Trenta.

      • Prispevek obravnava arheološko raziskavo neoznačenega groba vojnega ujetnika iz časa prve svetovne vojne, ki je bil odkrit v dolini Male Pišnice, s tem pa so bila potrjena pričevanja o obstoju groba. Na podlagi pričevanj in drugih virov je bila odkrita lokacija groba, rezultati raziskave pa prikazujejo združevanje različnih vrst virov in pomembno vlogo arheologije ter fizične antropologije pri obravnavi posmrtnih ostankov iz prve svetovne vojne. Pridobljene informacije tako dopolnjujejo vedenje o žrtvah prve svetovne vojne na območju Vršiča, obenem pa odpirajo nova vprašanja o morebitnem obstoju podobnih neoznačenih grobov na predelu med Kranjsko Goro in Trento.
