| Description | The ridges of the Eastern Carpathians on the Slovak-Polish-Ukrainian border represent a unique palimpsest where, thanks to favourable conditions, the remains of conflicts that have taken place in the 18th and 20th centuries have been preserved. Archaeological research reveals specific traces of these events: from the newly discovered military camp of the Tsarist army from the Easter battle (1915) at Głęboki Wierch, through the Wehrmacht artillery positions from the Battle of the Dukla Pass (1944), to the forced displacement of the Ruthenian population due to the construction of the Starina reservoir. Some sites, such as Ruské sedlo (mountain saddle), accumulate traces of dierent periods and represent unique archaeological complexes with extraordinary informative value. e analysis of the sites in the context of the “Bloodlands” concept shows how repeated conflicts have transformed not only the landscape, but also the demographic and cultural structure of the region, thus confirming the Eastern Carpathian ridges as a key area for the study within the archaeology of modern conflicts. |
