The reflection of everyday life of a prisoners of war in archaeological sources from post-World War 2 "POW" camps
PANCÍŘ, Tomáš
During the author previous study, the non-destructive research of the second world war camp took a place near the city of Nová Bystřice. The whole area of the camp and especially the relics are highly damaged here, and still are the main subject of the author interest. The damage was that high so the author decided to use an destructive method of archaeological research - the excavation one of the sanitary objects located in the area of the camp. These monuments, often disturbed, continue to be the subject of this work. The aim of this work is to make an insight into the everyday life of the prisoner of war from the point of view of archaeology and to clarify and identify patterns of activities inside military camps based on archaeological prospection. The work will provide an overview of the current state of cognition of the Second World War archaeology in the world, then present the author's research of the waste object from the camp near Nová Bystřice. Samples from the investigated objects will be subjected to analyzes (archaeobotanical, archaeozoological). The aim of this work is to supplement the current state of knowledge and to bring a new light to the issue of camp relicts based on new methods.
