Abstract

Conflicts have legacies beyond peace treaties and armistices. This article focuses on one example of such an enduring heritage, namely barbed wire left after the Nazi occupation of Norway during World War II. This barbed wire has persisted up to the present day and thus presents a case that can illuminate nuances of a material legacy that is harmful but also an important source of insight and experience of heritage. This involves the incomplete clean up in the postwar years and how the barbed wire continues to pose challenges for present-day and future cultural and natural heritage management. Contemporary archaeology offers insights into the afterlife of war and works as a counterweight to grand historical narratives that mainly focus on the height of armed conflicts.

荆棘往事

冲突的遗产超越了和平条约和停战协定。这篇文章的重点是这样一个持久遗产的例子，即二战期间纳粹占领挪威后留下的铁丝网。这种铁丝网一直存在到今天，因此提供了一个案例，可以阐明物质遗产的细微差别，这种遗产是有害的，但也是遗产洞察力和经验的重要来源。这涉及到战后未完成的清理工作，以及铁丝网如何继续对当今和未来的文化和自然遗产管理构成挑战。当代考古学提供了对战争来生的见解，并与主要关注武装冲突高度的宏大历史叙事相抗衡。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Contemporary Archaeology is the first dedicated, international, peer-reviewed journal to explore archaeology’s specific contribution to understanding the present and recent past. It is concerned both with archaeologies of the contemporary world, defined temporally as belonging to the twentieth and early twenty-first centuries, as well as with reflections on the socio-political implications of doing archaeology in the contemporary world. In addition to its focus on archaeology, JCA encourages articles from a range of adjacent disciplines which consider recent and contemporary material-cultural entanglements, including anthropology, art history, cultural studies, design studies, heritage studies, history, human geography, media studies, museum studies, psychology, science and technology studies and sociology. Acknowledging the key place which photography and digital media have come to occupy within this emerging subfield, JCA includes a regular photo essay feature and provides space for the publication of interactive, web-only content on its website.
