Sažetak
Throughout the past year, in Obrovac, a small town in northern Dalmatia, a field survey of an Italian military complex from the Second World War has been conducted. The goal was to document all the military infrastructure that was built during the Italian, and later German occupation. The complex consists of several fortified military positions along both sides of the river Zrmanja canyon. In Croatia, there is still no significant interest in the archaeological research of the material remains of modern conflicts. That being said, the time of the occupation has left a mark on the local communities. There is a reluctance to discuss their shared history and to even acknowledge it (visible in the destruction of several bunkers and falsely defining bunkers as viewpoints without mentioning their military purpose and history). There is a great need to completely erase a part of the history in accordance with the historical revisionism visible in Croatia and also, globally. As the surveyed military infrastructure presents material evidence of oppression and fascism, the community chose to represent the history and values that are to be remembered and implied the ones that are meant to be forgotten - the contested heritage. How do modern conflicts affect heritage and remembrance and is history truly written just by winners? What are the dynamics between unwanted parts of history and heritage? The relationship between the social and material will be examined in this local example.
