With the development of archaeology, various new branches and sub-disciplines with specific emphasis emerged. In recent decades, we have been able to whitewash the formation of archeologies related to military and war themes, such as battlefield archaeology, conflict archaeology, airfield archaeology, forensic archeology , the archeology of the great wars and many other archeologies which deal with a recent and violent history. If we want to understand the archeology of the First World War, we must know and understand the context in which it was formed. We will know broader archaeological areas and move towards more specific types, until we reach the archeology of the First World War. Archeology has traditionally dealt with early civilizations, antiquity, and older periods of human history, but over time its focus has narrowed. and closer to recent times. In recent decades it has come to the present where it deals with the interaction between material culture and human behavior, without limits of space and time (see Rathje 1979, 1981; Buchli, Lucas 2001; Saunders 2010b, 42). The rise of archaeological research in the recent past can be traced from the 1970s. Rathje's Garbage Project / Le Projet du Garbàg played an important role. It started in 1973 at the University of Arizona (Buchli, Lucas 2001: 3). In this archaeological approach to the recent past what we call archaeologies of the contemporary past have emerged. The name was introduced by Buchli and Lucas (2001). In this context, they highlighted some of the characteristic themes that have had a great impact on the development of archaeologies of the contemporary past. These were production/consumption, remembering/forgetting, disappearance/disclosure, presence...... middle of paper ......ipline (Saunders 2010b, 38). Saunders argues that pre-1914 battlefields were more or less small areas which, after the battle, were returned to a harmless environment. After 1914, peaceful landscapes were transformed into battlefields that continue to injure and kill innocents long after the armies have left and the war has ended (Saunders 2010b, 38). The reasons are the numerous unexploded ordnance that have been left behind over large areas. Battlefield archeology has a narrow sense that relates only to the battlefield, but World War I archeology also studies airfields, hospitals, warehouses, training camps, cemeteries, memorials and all areas located in the hinterland and connected to the conflict and are part of a conflict landscape even if they have never been used in combat actions (Saunders 2010b)., 38).
