Abstract
	Since the end of the First World War, material remains of the conflict have undergone progressive transformations. In the last decades, conflict archaeology has contributed to the investigation of these remains using a scientific approach. We present the results of a comprehensive study of two Austro-Hungarian trench systems along the northern Italian Front, one located in the area of Millegrobbe, Trento, and the other, part of the Winterstellung in Rotzo, Vicenza. Our aim is to determine the conservation rate of the trench portions still present in the test sites and to investigate the natural and anthropic contributions in the processes of obliteration of the WWI infra(structures) and the restoration of the pre-war landscape. Methodologically, the study was carried out with different degrees of impact: noninvasive, remote sensing techniques (applied to both case studies) and (semi)automatic recognition of the visible war-related traces (only in Millegrobbe); field surveys to verify the reliability of the remotely sensed investigations and the preservation of the structures (both case studies); and microinvasive excavations (only for the Winterstellung) to identify the pre- sin- and postdepositional processes of natural and man-made origin that caused the heterogenous degree of preservation of the investigated structures.
