Orphan Heritage: Issues in Managing the Heritage of the Great War in Northern France and Belgium
Abstract
This paper summarises recent developments in the field of Great War archaeology and examines solutions to the issues raised. The Great War is recent enough to be modern, but far enough back to be beyond living memory. As such, its material remains have become the province of archaeology, which raises two issues. Firstly, that the heritage is "owned" by people distant from the territories that contain the material, an issue exacerbated by modernity and derivation through conflict of the material. Secondly, the issue of what kind of archaeology is suitable for dealing with this material, and which archaeologists should do it.

In the citing paper
“Despite this impressive and pervasive material legacy, most of the remains have gone unnoticed until very recently: they are socially invisible-as opposed to the remains of the World Wars in Britain (Schofield, 2005), France and Belgium (Saunders, 2001;Price, 2005)-and, therefore, they are useless as a political lesson for the Spanish citizens (Santacana, 2004).”

In the citing paper
“Lacking any legal recognition, many sites have been (and still are) thoroughly looted by war enthusiasts-a problem that is shared by similar sites elsewhere (Price, 2005;Sutherland and Holst, 2005: 17)-and collectors and amateurs discuss their findings in the Internet with impunity.”

In the citing paper
“In fact, the problems in Spain are very similar to that of the World Wars: the indifference of academia has favored the intervention of outsiders with different personal agendas and interests (Laffin, 1993;Saunders, 2002: 103-106;Price, 2005), including economic ones.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
