| Description | The article presents partial results from a large-scale survey of the World War I battlefield near the municipality of Habura in Northeast Slovakia. In May 1915, military units of the 17th Honvéd Regiment launched an attack with the aim to seize the Russian positions on the border ridge. Subsequent to preliminary reconnaissance, archaeological survey was targeted at the area of an unforested grassland below the ridge, where a distinct concentration of metal artefacts was detected. Systematic detector survey was carried out in a polygon grid to localise firing positions of Hungarian troops and to find out details about the attack. |
