Historical Memory, Archaeology, And The Social Experience Of Conflict and Battlefields
Part of: Society for Historical Archaeology 2020
This collection contains the abstracts of the papers presented in the session entitled "Historical Memory, Archaeology, And The Social Experience Of Conflict and Battlefields," at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology.
Archaeological research at battlefields, fortifications, and sites associated with conflict is growing as a field of study. Conflict archaeology has widened its temporal and geographic range, and often engages a diversity of participants and audiences including historians and archaeologists, descent or local communities, avocational archaeologists, and others in a shared enterprise of site interpretation and preservation. The papers in this symposium describe research that constructs, challenges, and recrafts the narratives of battle, war, and conflict in such contexts.
