The Archaeology of the Western Front

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This comprehensive, illustrated survey of the latest in battlefield archaeology reveals "intimate insight into the realities of life" during WWI (Current Archaeology).

Modern methods of archaeological, historical, and forensic research have transformed our understanding of the Great War. In Digging the Trenches, battlefield archaeologists Andrew Robertshaw and David Kenyon introduce the reader to this exciting new field and explore many of the remarkable projects that have been undertaken.

Robertshaw and Kenyon show how archaeology can be used to reveal the positions of trenches, dugouts and other battlefield features, as well as what life on the Western Front was really like. They also show how individual soldiers are coming into focus as forensic investigation is so highly developed that individuals can be identified and their fates discovered.

"An excellent introduction to the subject…Digging the Trenches is essential reading."-Gary Sheffield, Military Illustrated "What a splendid book this is."-Neil Faulkner, Current Archaeology
