E-mail: [email protected] INTRODUCTION Modern conflict archaeology, investigating military conflicts of the 20th and early 21st centuries has diverged as a branch of archaeology at the turn of the millennium (Moshenska, 2013; Saunders, 2013). Since then, the main trends and schools of research, i.e. the First and the Second World Wars, the Spanish Civil War, the Cold War, Latin American military dictatorships, have become prominent (Robertshaw & Kenyon, 2008; Saunders, 2010; Zarankin & Salerno, 2011; González-Ruibal, 2012; Moshenska, 2012; Carr & Jasinski, 2013; Symonds & Vařeka, 2014). B y focusing on landscape, collective and living memory, oral history, text sources, and cartography, modern conflict archaeology has expanded possibilities of investigating recent military conflicts, their analysis and interpretation. In Lithuania, investigation of modern conflict sites began in the 1990s. Over the last three decades, archaeologists have explored mass graves of Nazi and Soviet soldiers, disposal sites of Lithuanian partisans, bunkers, underground quarters, battlefields, and partisan liaison homesteads (Jankauskas et al., 2005b; Petrauskas & Vaitkevičius, 2013; Vėlius & Žygelis, 2013; Petrauskienė & Petrauskas, 2014; Vaškevičiūtė & Zabiela, 2016; Petrauskienė et al., 2017). For a long time, however, Lithuanian researchers were interested in the prospect of forensic archaeology and forensic anthropology only, therefore, a comprehensive overview of modern conflict sites was not available (Jankauskas et al., 2005a, 2007, 2010, 2011; Jankauskas, 2009, 2012, 2015; Bird, 2013). During the last decade, the number of investigations of Lithuanian partisan war sites has increased significantly, a scientific approach has emerged, and, eventually, these sites have become an object of Lithuanian archaeology (Petrauskienė & Petrauskas, 2014; Petrauskienė et al., 2017; Petrauskas et al., forthcoming a). The article examines data of the field research of the Užpelkiai Forest battle (Radviliškis District, Central Lithuania), conducted from 2014 to 2017 (Petrauskas et al., 2017, forthcoming b). The battle of 13 August 1949 between Lithuanian partisans and the Soviet Army had a major impact on the partisan leadership, leaving a deep trace in the history of the Lithuanian partisan war (1944–1953). By analysing archival data, the cartography, narratives of surviving witnesses, and archaeological data, a comprehensive analysis of the Užpelkiai Forest battle is presented. Based on the field research data, the analysis of armament and war strategy, the details of the battle, the deployment of Soviet soldiers and Lithuanian partisans, their battlefield scenes are reconstructed. The authors discuss the methodology of the battlefield study, argue the concept of modern conflict archaeology. The War after the War in Lithuania The 20th century is marked by countless military conflicts. Some of them, such as the First and the Second World Wars, were universal, embraced entire countries where millions of soldiers and civilians were Page 4 of 112 killed. However, some military conflicts were local and differed from the former ones not only in scale, but by reason and aspirations. Among the latter, partisan wars, defensive in nature and regardless of the country, were fought not against something, but for something (Gailius, 2011). In the 20th century, wars for liberating, protecting and defending the independence from more powerful enemies were common in many countries. Prior to the Second World War, Stalin and Hitler divided the Europe into the Soviet Union and the Nazi Germany spheres of influence. In 1940, a young State of Lithuania was occupied by the Soviet Union (Lithuania declared its independence in 1918), one year later by the Nazi Germany, and in 1944, when the Second World War was close to its end the Soviet Union reoccupied Lithuania for another 50 years. A painful experience of the first Soviet occupation, when in June 1941 the Soviets exiled about 17,500 Lithuanian statesmen, teachers, military officers, clergymen, and farmers, was one of the main reasons why from the first days of the second Soviet occupation in 1944, large units of Lithuanian Freedom Army partisans, mostly called ‘forest brothers’ by locals, gathered in the woods. The period of 1944 to 1946 was the most active in the Lithuanian partisan war (Gaškaitė-Žemaitienė, 2006; Kuodytė, 2015). Numerous battles took place during the first years of the Lithuanian war for independence resulting in deaths of a large number of partisans. Partisans gathered in large units up to several hundred, installed fortified camps in the woods, attacked Soviet headquarters in district centres, and liberated political prisoners. However, the painful experience of the first years necessitated changing the partisan war tactics. Freedom fighters split into sections of 3 to 4 and units of 7 to 8 partisans, who mostly lived in the woods or well-concealed underground bunkers in partisan supporter homesteads. Although partisans stayed in separate small units, they acted strictly under the command of the leadership, and any non-compliance resulted in punishment by the Military Court. The establishment of the Lithuanian partisan leadership is what the Lithuanian partisan war is distinguished for. In February 1949, partisan representatives from all over Lithuania founded the Union of Lithuanian Freedom Fighters (Lietuvos laisvės kovos sąjūdis, hereinafter LLKS), and on 16 February 1949 a political declaration was signed (Gaškaitė-Žemaitienė, 2006; Gailius, 2011; Kuodytė, 2015). The declaration, stating that the partisan leadership was the only legitimate government in the occupied Lithuania was the main document for the succession and struggle for the restoration of an independent democratic state of Lithuania. In 1999, the Parliament of the Republic of Lithuania recognized the declaration as a legitimate document, and Jonas Žemaitis (codename Vytautas), the Chairman of the LLKS was announced as the fourth President of Lithuania. In 1944–1953, Lithuania had a population of slightly more than 2 million, 50,000 of which were partisans, supported by a growing number of liaisons and partisan supporters. During this ‘the war after the war’ period, more than 20,000 freedom fighters were killed, about 140,000 people were arrested and imprisoned in forced labour camps, and 118,000 persons were exiled to Siberia (Anušauskas, 2015; Starkauskas, 2015). After the partisan war was physically suppressed, the Soviet government launched a propaganda company against Lithuanian partisans and their supporters. During the 50 years of the Soviet occupation, many books and movies were released, Lithuanian partisans were called ‘bandits’, ‘traitors of the homeland’, and ‘bourgeois nationalists’. The only counterweight to the Soviet propaganda was publications of Lithuanian intellectuals who had fled West during the Second World War (Tauras, 1962; Vardys, 1965; Remeikis, 1980; Daumantas, 1988). Only after Lithuania restored its independence in 1990, the official attitude towards Lithuanian partisans has changed. The Lithuanian partisan war has been investigated on the basis of archival documents and recollections of survivors, and many partisan diaries and albums have been published (e.g. Ramanauskaitė-Skokauskienė, 2007; Baliukevičius, 2008). Isolated from the Soviet propaganda, the objective image of the Lithuanian partisan war has been an objective of current studies. The Battle of UŽPELKIAI Forest The Užpelkiai

  • China's Special Poor Areas and Their Geographical Conditions
    sustainability Article China’s Special Poor Areas and Their Geographical Conditions Xin Xu 1,2, Chengjin Wang 1,2,*, Shiping Ma 1,2 and Wenzhong Zhang 1,2 1 Institute of Geographic Sciences and Natural Resources Research, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100101, China; [email protected] (X.X.); [email protected] (S.M.); [email protected] (W.Z.) 2 College of Resources and Environment, University of Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100049, China * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: Special functional areas and poor areas tend to spatially overlap, and poverty is a common feature of both. Special poor areas, taken as a kind of “policy space,” have attracted the interest of researchers and policymakers around the world. This study proposes a basic concept of special poor areas and uses this concept to develop a method to identify them. Poor counties in China are taken as the basic research unit and overlaps in spatial attributes including old revolutionary bases, borders, ecological degradation, and ethnic minorities, are used to identify special poor areas. The authors then analyze their basic quantitative structure and pattern of distribution to determine the geographical bases’ formation and development. The results show that 304 counties in China, covering a vast territory of 12 contiguous areas that contain a small population, are lagging behind the rest of the country. These areas are characterized by rich energy and resource endowments, important ecological functions, special historical status, and concentrated poverty. They are considered “special poor” for geographical reasons such as a relatively harsh natural geographical environment, remote location, deteriorating ecological environment, and an inadequate infrastructure network and public service system.

While there are numerous studies analyzing the loss of arable land due to urban sprawl, less attention has been paid to the study of rural housing land in China. This paper develops a theoretical framework for rural housing land transition in China. It introduces a research method, which is using the spatial differentiation in regional development for compensating the deficiencies in time-series data, to analyze the rural housing land transition in the Transect of the Yangtse River (TYR). Detailed land-use data and socio-economic data from both research institutes and government departments were used to test the following hypothesis on rural housing land transition. We assume that rural housing in every region will undergo specific stages—the proportion of rural housing in the increase of total construction land will decline gradually with the development of the local economy, and the end of the transition corresponds to a new equilibrium between rural housing and other construction activities.

    Private Herbert Smith Peters, Number 540083 of the 10th Battalion (Canadians) of Canadian Infantry, Canadian Expeditionary Force, is buried in Haynecourt British Cemetery: Grave reference III.A.24. (Right: The image of the cap-badge of the 10th Battalion (Canadians), Canadian Expeditionary Force, is from the bing.com/images web-site) (continued) 1 His occupation prior to military service recorded as that of an accountant, Herbert Smith Peters had spent his younger years in the capital city of Newfoundland, St. John’s, his birth-place. There he had already acquired some of his schooling at the Methodist College when his father had been transferred by his employer, the Bank of Montreal, to the community of Curling, on the west coast of the island. From there his parents had subsequently moved to Charlottetown on Prince Edward Island and the still-young Herbert had accompanied them. In 1913 his father received a further promotion and was transferred to the Albertan city of Calgary. There the family took up residence at 1031 Prospect Avenue, the address that Herbert Smith Peters was later to cite on his attestation papers. Perhaps following the example of his older brother Edward who, by the end of 1914, had also found his way to Calgary – although by a more convoluted route than had Herbert and his parents – Herbert Smith Peters presented himself for medical examination and enlistment on August 18, 1915, and on the morrow for attestation. That attestation of August 19 brought to a conclusion the formalities of Private Peters’ enlistment when the commanding officer of the Cyclist Depot, Lieutenant Colonel(?) G.B.
