The human cost in any conflict is of course the first care in terms
of the reduction, if not the elimination of damage. However, the
destruction of archaeology and heritage as a consequence of civil
and international wars is also of major concern, and the
irreversible loss of monuments and sites through conflict has been
increasingly discussed and documented in recent years.
Post-Conflict Archaeology and Cultural Heritage draws together a
series of papers from archaeological and heritage professionals
seeking positive, pragmatic and practical ways to deal with
conflict-damaged sites. For instance, by showing that
conflict-damaged cultural heritage and archaeological sites are a
valuable resource rather than an inevitable casualty of war, and
suggesting that archaeologists use their skills and knowledge to
bring communities together, giving them ownership of, and
identification with, their cultural heritage. The book is a mixture
of the discussion of problems, suggested planning solutions and
case studies for both archaeologists and heritage managers. It will
be of interest to heritage professionals, archaeologists and anyone
working with post-conflict communities, as well as anthropology,
archaeology, and heritage academics and their students at a range
of levels.
