LiDAR and conflict archaeology
Although conflict archaeology is now well established, the archaeological remains of many specific military confrontations are still to be explored. This article reports the results of fieldwork to document the site of the Battle of the Bulge (16 December 1944-25 January 1945). The authors use drone-mounted 1m-resolution LiDAR and very high-resolution simultaneous localisation and mapping (SLAM) methods to reveal more than 940 features within the…
The Battle of the Seelow Heights, April 1945
During the final days of World War II, the Red Army’s Berlin Operation culimnated in the capture of the Reich’s capital and the unconditional surrender of the Wehrmacht. Between 16 and 19 April 1945, the most intense fighting of the operation ensued in what is now called the Battle of the Seelow Heights. Due to the vast quantities of men and matériel involved in the fighting, an extensive militarised landscape has developed within the forests of …
On Geography and War
We use examples from the European theater in World War II to argue that the assumption that combat is typically chaotic yields only limited insight into the large-scale evolution of military operations. To do this we examine the Ardennes campaigns of 1940 and 1944 in the context of explanatory devices used in physical geography such as complexity, nonlinearity, and emergence. We show that during the successful 1940 offensive that eventually led t…
Conflict Archaeology of Tactical Air Power
Towards an archaeology and geography of Second World War German munitions storage sites in north-west Europe
This paper reviews the signature characteristics of extant Second World War German army munitions storage landscapes in forested areas of north-west Europe with particular reference to sites in north-west France and the Netherlands. Archaeological survey, aerial photographs and documentary archives show the geography of munitions sites exhibit a regulated pattern of bunker disposition and spacing that is adapted to local road configurations and t…
A witness in the landscape
An archaeological survey of well-preserved Second World War German supply depots and bomb craters from Allied air raids in the Forêt domaniale des Andaines, Normandy, has prompted an evaluation of the effectiveness of Allied intelligence gathering and tactical bombing of the German logistics network in advance of, and during the Normandy Campaign of June–August 1944. In conjunction with analysis of primary German and Allied archive sources, publi…
Second World War bomb craters and the archaeology of Allied air attacks in the forests of the Normandie-Maine National Park, NW France
Well-preserved bomb craters in the forests of central Normandy, NW France, constitute archaeological legacies of combat inland from the D-Day beachheads that greatly extend the inventory of Second World War conflict landscapes in northwest Europe. Field survey and analysis of German and Allied documents demonstrates that bombscapes in the Forêt domaniale des Andaines and Forêt domaniale d'Ecouves reflect US Ninth Army Air Force attacks on a Germa…
Landscape Archaeology of World War Two German Logistics Depots in the Forêt domaniale des Andaines, Normandy, France
Second World War conflict archaeology in the forests of north-west Europe
Concrete fortifications have long served as battle-scarred memorials of the Second World War. The forests of north-west Europe, meanwhile, have concealed a preserved landscape of earthwork field fortifications, military support structures and bomb- and shell-craters that promise to enhance our understanding of the conflict landscapes of the 1944 Normandy Campaign and the subsequent battles in the Ardennes and Hürtgenwald forests. Recent survey ha…
Landscapes of Logistics
Earthworks associated with WWII German military supply depots are shown to be well preserved on the modern forest floors of the Forêt domaniale des Andaines in central Normandy, North-west France, and are located within the record of the Seventh Army logistics network developed prior to the D-Day landings in June 1944. Features are typically located alongside forest roads and tracks and collectively amount to a military archaeological landscape t…
Towards Synthesis
The Tweed Valley and its tributaries, and particularly the Milfield Basin in north Northumberland, is an area of strategic significance in the geography of the British Isles and it hosts a rich and varied multi-period archaeological and palaeoenvironmental record. This paper summarises some of the key findings for the Neolithic resulting from a long-term and in-depth landscape research project and provides a new chronological sequence for the Neo…
Managing Archaeological Landscapes in Northumberland
The Till-Tweed river catchment areas in Northumberland contain outstanding archaeological and palaeoenvironmental remains which have been in general only poorly understood. This study has assembled detailed data that will provide a platform for future landscape-based research and site-based investigation. Written from a landscape, or geoarchaeological perspective, this study develops a methodology and management tool that will allow planners, cur…
Holocene palaeoecology and floodplain evolution of the Muge tributary, Lower Tagus Basin, Portugal
Landscapes of the Battle of the Bulge
This paper presents the results of a reconnaissance survey of battlefield archaeological features that are associated with the early stages of the German Ardennes offensive in December 1944, and which have been well-preserved in the post-war forests in the St. Vith–Schöenberg area of eastern Belgium. Field survey of the location, plan-form dimensions, (unexcavated) surface relief and orientation of forest-floor earthworks over a total area of ca.…
The palaeogeography of Mesolithic settlement-subsistence and shell midden formation in the Muge valley, Lower Tagus Basin, Portugal
This paper reports the first detailed palaeogeographical analysis of the environmental context of late Mesolithic shell midden sites in the lower Tagus area and focuses on the lower Muge valley, which contains an internationally significant Mesolithic record. The lower Muge valley fill comprises buried estuarine and fluvial environments contemporary with Mesolithic settlement. Holocene environmental and palaeogeographic changes influenced Mesolit…
Enhancing the evaluation and management of river valley archaeology; geoarchaeology in the Till–Tweed catchment, northern England
This paper presents an overview of the Till–Tweed project, an Aggregates Levy Sustainability Fund sponsored geoarchaeological assessment of archaeological and palaeoenvironmental records in a major northern UK river basin. Particular attention is paid to one of the key aims of the project; the development of planning guidelines that will enable archaeologists and heritage managers to systematically assess the cultural resource potential of Till–T…
Geoarchaeology of the Milfield Basin, northern England; towards an integrated archaeological prospection, research and management framework
This paper presents the results of geoarchaeological investigations undertaken on the valley floor of the Milfield Basin in Northumberland, northern England. The area has a regionally and nationally important archaeological record, including a series of major neolithic and Anglian settlements, but has hitherto lacked archaeological assessment and management guidelines appropriate to the wide range of late‐glacial and post‐glacial environmental se…

A Holocene Alluvial Sequence in the lower Tyne Valley, Northern Britain
Palaeoenvironmental investigations have been made of late Quaternary sediments infilling the lower Tyne valley at Scotswood, Newcastle-upon-Tyne, 18 km upstream from the mouth of the river. Attention has focused on the Holocene alluvial sedimentary sequence using sedimentological, geochemical and palynological analyses. Holocene valley floor development from c. 7500 BP has been largely dominated by a tendency towards river aggradation with some l…
