 Thanks for the introduction In my paper, I would like to present and analyze some of the results of Ritter My colleagues and I carry out in the area around Ficina, Poland. We were interested in trees with carvings. To Ritter did we use Heretia latastine combined with closed-range photogrammetry of common beach tree in Latin, Fagus silvatica, which are covered with carving dated mostly to 1944 Okay First of all, I assume that we have all in canta Trees with carvings like this one. The practice is even illustrated in written coming books Even artists like Kazimierz Raba use trees with carvings as part of the artistic installation And my thesis is simple here. Trees with carvings are part of the historical, cultural and above all archaeological record. On one side with carvings is located near Ficina and has been the subject of mine and my colleagues' interest already for a few years You can see here the location of Ficina and an aerial photograph taken on the 26th of August 1944 that showed the forest and field fortification around Ficina. At the bottom is a contemporary satellite image of Ficina and its landscape. As you see, forest is everywhere The field fortifications are crucial here. Why? In the summer and autumn of 1942, German started building additional field fortifications which, as it was believed, would start or at least slow down the advance of the Red Army from the from the east The historical and oral records mention that local German civilians as well as well as Friedner of war and force laborers were ordered to be trained and other kinds of field fortifications on land around Ficina among others. The fortifications are well preserved until the present day You can see them here. And other visible on LiDAR derivatives as well In March 2017 my colleagues and I carry out a new field research program. Its goal was Terrestrial AFSCANI combined with close range photogrammetry of the three Cava with carvings near Ficina Here we are doing the research. Here you are the trees and the localization All in all, the bark of 11 trees was scanned with a scanner named Read-D-Z 400. In order to increase the quality and naturalistic color of the documented tree, we decided to use TLA and combine it with close range photogrammetry Point point clouds were created were created using data from 45 times and Modern 2000 photogrammetry images integrated to give full coverage of the documented tree The final outcome of the research were 11 3d models of three Cava by carvings Okay The basic idea behind the research was to discover the history that Stands behind the carvings. It was as what as one could play the epistemology The epistemology of three carvings that mattered initially the idea behind the research in 2017 was very similar. We decided to use TLA and close close range photogrammetry to discover to document and document new new carvings within this framework we created the 3d model and You see one of the results three d2. This is actually a 3d model and Two types of visualization of carving bottom right You see in red interpretation of the of the carving Indeed new carvings were discover documented the silver The analysis of Documentation and analysis of the carving seem to Imagine that it was precisely the prisoner of war and force laborers who dug this part of the trenches and Mark the presence of the of the tree. Why? the day when it fall and when it of 1944 might be the precise date when this part was back and that and the people the prisoner Carved a name surname initial nationality and other kind of Carving on that on the tree and The crucial point and the most important part of the research a variety of carvings done in Polish the city Alphabet English and perhaps French in our opinion Seem to confirm that people of different nationalities took part in the working and marked a present on the tree in The slide number seven you see other reason of the research tree number Three three and three number four of course this date doesn't matter, but here you can see initial do you? which is the Polish name of one of the larger city and the day 1944 Here you see time of a possible as an English word. It's obvious. It was done carved by a Englishman and as you see there are trees with Many carvings like tree number two. However, there are also trees with just a few ones like tree number three or four okay, and This is really the most important part of my my research However, when I was sitting in front of my computer Do men in do men out of each 3d more 3d models and found I realized the limitation of such a perspective To put it bluntly The trees with carvings cannot be simply reduced to carving and to put it more generally epistemological issue without any doubt Harvard time made the tree a very unique category of the historical record and heritage of the recent path however My idea is that the the tree themselves can't shoot to and the crucial question for me was What are they in the own independent being and my proposition is very simple such tree with having like the one from from Hygiene Should be considered simply as living being living monument of the recent path the current time materialized Monumentalized Memorized what human fears warrant emotion for slavo shot in short flesh and blood human being being from the recent recent path Noted the fact that people who carve this Time are already that the tree on the other hand are still alive and grow up Even more. I have bad bad news for you You all we all be Dead and the tree will be still materialized the monumental ID memory aligning what happened and 1944 at Hygiene for the next who know one and even two to century and this precisely the the reason why I Conceived that tree at living monument of the recent of the recent path okay quick quick conclusion At the most lamentable level it can be said that nature and culture Barbed in mind Cracked in fact and the tangible and intangible Attitude may remain and constituted the tree as unique categories of living monument of the recent path Okay
