| Conference: Archaeology of Military Archaeology by the_historian on 06 Aug 2008 6:46 PM (0 replies) |
Archaeologies of Military Occupation Within the discipline of Conflict Archaeology, the study of the materiality, battlefields, landscapes, and war memorials of WWI and WWII have emerged as a rich source of archaeological information. This session proposes to explore another aspect of conflict archaeology: the archaeology of military occupation. Papers which deal with aspects of military occupation of the historical past, specifically WWI and WWII, are sought for this session, although case studies of military occupation further back - or forwards - in time will also be welcome. Particular themes to be addressed might include: ~ Heritage issues, such as the commemoration and memorialisation of occupation today, and how it is presented to the public in museums. ~ How military occupation affected the landscape, and how that landscape is understood or used today. ~ Looting and destruction of cultural heritage during military occupations. ~ The materiality of occupation and how the material culture of the period typifies the shortage of food, fuel and raw materials and the experience of occupation more generally ~ The materiality of resistance, whether passive, active or silent. To offer a paper, please get in touch with: Dr Gilly Carr University of Cambridge. gcc20@hermes.cam.ac.uk

| Introduction and question by dark75219 on 08 Jul 2008 11:34 PM (0 replies) |
Hello everyone, I am a graduating senior from Ohio State university with a degree in civil engineering and (with a specialization in structurs) I was wondering if I can somehow use that degree to use in some field of archeology, however my school doesn't offer archeology so I don't really have anyone to talk to about this field. So while it has always been an interest of mine, I would like to know what steps I should take to make it a career, so if anyone has a phone number, email or a website that I can use to contact someone, that would be a great help, thanks.
