During construction works in eastern Poland, the remains of 25 individuals were discovered. The site near Nowa Osuchowa was excavated in 2016 and after osteological and taphonomical analyses the remains were reburied. The remains were identified as members of the Prussian Army fighting in WWI. Radiographic imaging was employed to aide differential diagnosis of pathologies. Skeletal evidence of antemortem fractures, dislocation and infection was found. Several individuals showed evidence of perimortem fractures and high-velocity projectile trauma. Taphonomic analyses indicate that some of the individuals were buried at the location very soon after death, while others were likely already in more advanced stages of decomposition at the time of burial at the site.

ABSTRACT The passenger freighter Robert E. Lee steamed through the Gulf of Mexico one hot July afternoon in 1942. With the danger of German U-boats in the Caribbean and along the United States Coast, the freighter was escorted by U.S. Patrol Craft 566, unaware U-166 lay in wait. As they neared the Mississippi River, a torpedo ripped through the freighter’s side. PC-566 engaged the U-boat with depth charges. Losing contact with the U-boat, the crew felt they had destroyed it. A U.S. Military Review Committee, however, determined the attack was ineffective allowing the U-boat to escape. The historical evidence and archaeological remains lying in nearly 1,500 metres of water tells a much different story. Through detailed analysis of the data, the battle sequence is reconstructed mathematically. The story it tells vindicates the PC-566’s commander and crew shedding new light on one of the Gulf of Mexico’s only World War II battlefields.

ABSTRACT This paper considers a previously unpublished collection of writings relating to the aftermath of the Battle of Waterloo, fought in Belgium on 18 June 1815. 1 The author of these documents, Thomas Ker, was a Scottish merchant living in Brussels at the time of the battle, and this discussion places his observations on the battlefield in the days following the famous encounter between Napoleon and Wellington in the context of accounts by civilian visitors published soon after the event (mostly between 1816 and 1817). These include works by Sir Walter Scott, Robert Hills, James Simpson, and, importantly also, women, with Charlotte Eaton, Georgiana Capel, and Anne Laura Thorold among them. These writings are used here to provide insight into the transformation of Waterloo from a scene of carnage to a popular tourist attraction, with a particular focus on the role of relic collection in this process.

ABSTRACT In late nineteenth-century France, church bells were an integral part of society, sounding the quotidian rhythms of life. During WWI, a shortage of metals for the war effort resulted in German authorities requisitioning church bells in Germany and occupied territories. While the sequestration of the only bell from the church L’Eglise Sainte-Geneviève in the village of Marquillies (France) occurred under this guise, this was an invented cover story in order to remove the bell as a war trophy to Berlin. Contravening the revised Hague Convention of 1907, the removal the bell occurred because, owing to texts inscribed onto the bell by both parties, it was a propaganda tool by the French community and German forces alike. As a unique political symbol of the tension in the Alsace-Lorraine region in the early twentieth-century, the bell serves as a case highlighting the political power of a communal religious icon.

ABSTRACT The study of conflict, warfare, and their impact on settlement patterns in the Northern Frontier of Mesoamerica during the Late Classic (500–900 CE) is hindered by colonial notions of warfare and fragmented archaeological records. This article proposes a new geospatial analytical framework to investigate conflict in ancient West Mexico. We present the results of our UAV-based aerial survey at Cerro de en medio, Aguascalientes, and using a GIS approach, this study investigates the relationship between defensiveness and conflict as a range from sporadic raids carried by small bands to Inter-polity/Interregional warfare. We found visual control was not an essential concern during this period and based on the site’s hiddenness and capacity to sustain small-scale conflict, we argue that Cerro de en medio was a refuge rather than a fortress. Thus, the evidence of sporadic or seasonal conflict in the region challenges previous interpretations and calls for renewed investigations.
古典晚期(公元500-900年)中美洲北部边境地区冲突、战争及其对定居模式影响的研究受到战争殖民观念和支离破碎的考古记录的阻碍。本文提出了一个新的地理空间分析框架来研究古代西墨西哥的冲突。我们展示了我们在阿瓜斯卡连特斯Cerro de en medio的基于无人机的空中调查结果，并使用GIS方法，本研究调查了防御与冲突之间的关系，从小团伙进行的零星袭击到国家间/地区间战争。我们发现在这一时期，视觉控制并不是一个重要的问题，基于场地的隐蔽性和维持小规模冲突的能力，我们认为Cerro de en medio是一个避难所，而不是一个堡垒。因此，该地区零星或季节性冲突的证据挑战了以前的解释，并要求重新进行调查。

ABSTRACT During the final days of World War II, the Red Army’s Berlin Operation culimnated in the capture of the Reich’s capital and the unconditional surrender of the Wehrmacht. Between 16 and 19 April 1945, the most intense fighting of the operation ensued in what is now called the Battle of the Seelow Heights. Due to the vast quantities of men and matériel involved in the fighting, an extensive militarised landscape has developed within the forests of East Brandenburg that has largely evaded archaeological scrutiny. A combination of airborne laser scanning data, archival research, and GIS-analysis reveals a highly diverse archaeological assemblage, including trenches, firing positions, dugouts, logistics facilities, along with other types of war- and conflict-related infrastructure. This unprecedented degree of preservation distinguishes the Seelow battlefield from other WWII contexts in Europe and provides a unique opportunity to investigate the combat activities and supply infrastructures of two combatting forces.
