Abstract

The article presents the results of rescue archaeological investigations conducted at Site 22 in Miejsce Piastowe. The excavations uncovered World War II remains associated with military activities during the Carpatho-Dukla Military Operation. A detailed analysis of the spatial organization of features and the distribution of artefacts enabled the reconstruction of the arrangement of howitzers and the associated trench infrastructure at the site. It also allowed for an estimation of the number of shells fired, thereby facilitating a reconstruction of the intensity of combat in the area. The findings confirm the presence of German artillery at this location in the second half of 1944, corroborating the course of events described in historical sources.
