The paper examines the applicability of a metal detector survey and distribution analysis of mostly metal objects at four post-World War II mass execution sites in Ko?evski Rog, Slovenia. All ...locations were surveyed with the intent to gather the material evidence, reconstruct the events and identify areas of different activities. With the distribution analysis, we were able to reconstruct pathways leading through forest to the execution sites; places of untying, undressing and restricting of the victims; and places of shooting. Locations with discarded and sometimes burned clothing, equipment and personal belongings were also found, containing various metal and non-metal objects. Metal detector survey and distribution analysis of objects proved to be an excellent tool for researching, interpreting and reconstructing poorly documented events, such as World War II and post-war extrajudicial mass executions.
Na dinarskih kraških planotah Kočevskega Roga in Kočevske Male gore se je na kontaktu med kraškim in fluvialnim geomorfnim sistemom oblikoval t.i. kontaktni kras. Preučene so bile geomorfološke ...oblike in procesi na štirih območjih kontaktnega krasa. Na stiku med nekarbonatnimi in karbonatnimi kamninami so se razvile ponikve, slepe doline (aktivne in fosilne), konkavne oblike v bližini kontakta pa so zapolnjene z nekarbonatnimi sedimenti. Na kontaktu med različnimi karbonatnimi kamninami (dolomiti in apnenci) so reliefne oblike kontaktnega krasa manj jasno izoblikovane, mdr. ponori (aktivni in fosilni), ponorni zatrepi ter suhe doline.
