Arheološka raziskava groba vojnega ujetnika iz doline Male Pišnice

Abstract

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.
