Between 1915 and 1917, the frontline of the Soča Front ran across the Julian Alps, the Soča Valley, and the Karst Plateau of the Adriatic Sea. During the conflict, many defence lines on both sides were constructed. However, the Soča Front positions were not the only ones associated with the Great War as the article shows. Archaeological data supported by LiDAR evidence and historical sources provided an overview of vast pre-war and Great War conflict landscapes in western Slovenia. In the framework of modern conflict archaeology, different Austro-Hungarian defence systems were identified, ranging from fortified positions built from the end of the nineteenth century, and defensive structures dating to 1914 and early 1915 (before the start of the war in the Soča Valley), to position on the wartime frontline and reserve defensive lines in the hinterland. Different archaeological approaches provide detailed information on the appearance of conflict landscapes of the Great War in a way that was previously impossible to imagine.n both sides were constructed.
