Abstract

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.

强迫劳动的实质性：Rolava（波西米亚西北部）二战采矿厂和PoW营地社区的定居垃圾

本文对第二次世界大战期间在垃圾填埋场挖掘的文物和生态事实进行了考古、骨学和古植物学分析。定居垃圾由三个社会地位不同的社区产生，这些社区与波西米亚西部矿石山脉的Rolava采矿和加工厂相连。该工厂的建造是为了向第三帝国的战争工业供应有色金属，尤其是锡，二战后，它被废弃，变成了一个复杂的考古遗址。定居在这里的社区包括德国文职专家，也包括盟军和红军中从事强迫劳动的战俘。对定居点废弃物的跨学科分析为中欧最重要的现代考古遗址之一以及人类历史上最大的战争冲突背景下的日常生活带来了许多新的见解。
