The Journal of Conflict Archaeology

 

The Journal of Conflict Archaeology is an English-language journal devoted to the battlefield and military archaeology and other spheres of conflict archaeology, covering all periods with a worldwide scope.  Additional spheres of interest will include the archaeology of industrial and popular protest; contested landscapes and monuments; nationalism and colonialism; class conflict; the origins of conflict; forensic applications in war-zones; and human rights cases.  Themed issues will carry papers on current research; subject and period overviews; fieldwork and excavation reports-interim and final reports; artifact studies; scientific applications; technique evaluations; conference summaries; and book reviews.

Battlefield archaeology represents one of the newest and fastest growing fields of interest within the wider world of archaeological endeavor.  Over recent years historic battlefields have come to be regarded as important elements of the world’s cultural heritage.  An important aim of the journal will be to provide a vehicle for the publication of the growing body of work related to battlefields and to create an environment in which this material can engage with the wider body of research and theory related to humane conflict.
