Archaeology at the Site of Remembrance - popularising research results
From 27 November 2023, an article entitled '"Hell camp" hidden in the forest - the materiality of Stalag VIII B (344) Lamsdorf', which is the outcome of the 'Science for Society, Society for Science at the Site of National Remembrance in Łambinowice' project, is made available in the Taylor and Francis database.
The authors of the article are: Elżbieta Góra, Dawid Kobiałka, Mikołaj Kostyrko, Adam Lokś, Michał Pawleta, Violetta Rezler-Wasielewska, Piotr Stanek, Sonia Tomczak and Anna Wickiewicz. Within the first month of publication, the text was viewed more than 1,000 times. Given the particular nature of archaeology, this is a major achievement. Undoubtedly, the interesting subject matter, the intriguing title and the clear presentation of the research results contributed to this.
The aim of the article is to present the results of the work carried out in 2022 on the site of the former camp in Łambinowice, and furthermore, present the Museum's activities in the context of British heritage, tangible and symbolic alike, which has been cared for by successive generations, including descendants of prisoners-of-war from the UK and other Commonwealth countries as distant as Australia, Canada and New Zealand.
The article, which is published on Taylor and Francis website, is in The Journal of Conflict Archaeology, a scientific periodical published by the Centre for Battlefield Archaeology at the University of Glasgow - the first facility of its kind, with an already established reputation and popularity among researchers. This provides an opportunity for the results of our project to reach more specialists.
