Landscapes of Conflict: Comparative Archaeology of WWII Airfields in the Czech Republic and Finland

Original language description

The study of WWII through material culture has proven potential to formulate a more complete picture of wartime. Due to the varying preservation of wartime sources and their biased perspectives, material culture offers a unique viewpoint for investigating wartime events, locations, and people. As the research potential of these wartime archaeological sites is becoming better understood, new research projects are launched in Finland and abroad. In 2025, the research project, The Land Gone Wild: Archaeology and Transdisciplinary Research of Resilience Strategies in the 20th Century, was launched in the Czech Republic. One of the subprojects within the research initiative focuses specifically on the material culture of modern conflicts. An important area of interest is the history of Czech and Finnish airfields during World War II. The comparative study, comprising archaeological fieldwork, archival research, and interviews, began in 2025 and will continue until 2028. This article refers about the current state of the research and provides an overview of the project plans.
