Abstract

The Ortles-Cevedale Group was the setting of repeated clashes occurring under extreme conditions and at the highest altitudes of all fightings in the Great War (WWI). The research scenario associated with the group is very challenging because modern research faces a series of logistical and climatic obstacles. The gradual retreat of glaciers has unearthed several archaeological remains of WWI such as barracks, barbed wire, military ammunition, weapons and other materials. The study site is the saddle between M. Vioz and Punta Linke, where the Historic War Museum of Pejo, under the direction of the Archaeological Service of the Province of Trento (Soprintendenza per i Beni Culturali, Ufficio Beni Archeologici), started an archaeological excavation in the year 2009 of some of the infrastructure of the cableway station, which also includes a tunnel section in the bedrock. The saddle is placed at the head of Forni Glacier. GPR and seismic imaging was the best survey choice to characterize the glaciological and geo-archaeological context and to find structures or remains within the ice mass. Geophysical imaging spanned two campaigns in the years 2010 and 2011. The ice-rock interface was reconstructed in detail to depths greater than 45-50 m. The surface of the bedrock reveals a complex morphology, with several undulations and two rocky ridges elongated in the NNW-SSE direction. They identified some anomalous reflectors within the ice mass located near the western edge of the saddle of Punta Linke. The interpretation of radar profiles seems to indicate the presence of a tunnel in the ice, whose geometry and position is similar to others excavated in alpine glaciers during the Great War.
第一次世界大战情景下Punta Linke的探地雷达和地震测量(Ortles-Cevedale Group,意大利阿尔卑斯山)
在第一次世界大战中,在极端条件下和海拔最高的地方,奥尔特斯-切维代尔集团发生了多次冲突。与该小组相关的研究情景非常具有挑战性,因为现代研究面临一系列后勤和气候障碍。随着冰川的逐渐消退,出土了一些第一次世界大战的考古遗迹,如军营、铁丝网、军用弹药、武器和其他材料。研究地点位于M. Vioz和Punta Linke之间,在特伦托省考古服务部门(Soprintendenza per i Beni Culturali, Ufficio Beni Archeologici)的指导下,佩霍历史战争博物馆于2009年开始对索道站的一些基础设施进行考古挖掘,其中还包括基岩中的隧道部分。这个马鞍位于福尼冰川的顶端。探地雷达和地震成像是表征冰川学和地质考古背景以及在冰块内寻找结构或遗骸的最佳调查选择。地球物理成像跨越了2010年和2011年的两个运动。对深度大于45-50 m的冰-岩界面进行了详细重建。基岩表面形态复杂,在NNW-SSE方向上有若干起伏和两条岩脊拉长。他们在蓬塔林克山鞍座西部边缘附近的冰块中发现了一些异常的反射器。雷达剖面的解释似乎表明冰中存在一条隧道,其几何形状和位置与第一次世界大战期间在高山冰川中挖掘的其他隧道相似。
