Exploring the Archipelago: Archaeology of Gulag

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

The paper offers the first comprehensive synthesis of current knowledge of Gulag camps based on material evidence. This has been acquired through an archaeological survey of selected camps along the so-called Dead Road and in the Marble Gorge in the Kodar Mountains in Northern and Eastern Siberia, organised by Gulag.cz. The association’s main ambition is to commemorate these forgotten places and to bring them back to public attention via its Virtual Museum of the Gulag and thus to offset, at least partially, the very limited (and restricted!) interest in the Gulag and the Soviet repressive system as a whole in today’s Russia. The paper highlights the uniqueness of the Gulag camps as archaeological sites in view of their extraordinary remoteness and taiga setting. These conditions result in the presence of many artefacts that were left behind and determine a field survey methodology that requires the use of specific procedures, such as panoramic photography and photogrammetry. Preliminary outcomes are summarized in four subtopics: 1. specific evidence of the Gulag camps’ impact on the landscape and environment; 2. analysis of form, inner structure and particular components that represent common features of Gulag camps; 3. insights into everyday camp life, including prisoners’ discomfort, resilience, leisure activities and even artworks; and 4. details of people’s lives via the extensive evidence of written words found across Gulag camp sites.
