The development of key methodologies for the study of battlefields
in the USA in the 1980s inspired a generation of British and
European archaeologists to turn their attention to sites in their
own countries. The end of the Cold War and key anniversaries of the
World Wars inspired others, especially in the UK, to examine the
material legacy of those conflicts before they disappeared. By 2000
the study of war was again firmly on the archaeological agenda. The
overall purpose of the book is to encourage proponents and
practitioners of Conflict Archaeology to consider what it is for
and how to develop it in the future.The central argument is that,
at present , Conflict Archaeology is effectively divided into
closed communities who do not interact to any large extent. These
separate communities are divided by period and by nationality, so
that a truly international Conflict Archaeology has yet to emerge.
These divisions prevent the exchange of information and ideas
across boundaries and thereby limit the scope of the field. This
book discusses these issues in detail, clearly outlining how they
affect the development of Conflict Archaeology as a coherent branch
of archaeology.
