Conflict Behind the Lines: Considering Civilians in Conflict Archeology
Author(s): Carl Carlson-Drexler
Year: 2020
Summary
This is an abstract from the session entitled "“We Go to Gain a Little Patch of Ground. That hath in it no profit but the name”: Revolutionary Research in Archaeologies of Conflict" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology.
In challenging the battle-focused perception of Conflict Archeology, we need to consider the deep reach of warfare and social strife to areas away from the front lines. Archeologists have been trying to consider civilian connections to war in recent years, and there are other bodies of theory, from outside the discipline, that offer as-yet untapped potential. This paper explores some of the directions we have been testing, and argues for greater engagement with anthropological, historical, and sociological work on civilians in conflict and disaster situations.
