Battlefield and Conflict Archaeology
Battlefield or conflict archaeology is a specialized field within archaeology that focuses on the study and archaeological investigation of conflict and conflict-related sites. It combines archaeological techniques with historical research to investigate and interpret the material remains of past conflicts. The aim is to gain a deeper understanding of the events, tactics, and human experiences associated with warfare and conflict throughout histo…

We commited ten of our number to the silent tomb”: The archaeological evidence of the Walnut Creek massacre, Kansas (14BT301)
Heavy rains and subsequent bank erosion in 1973 exposed the skeletal remains of 10 men and boys on Walnut Creek in Barton County, Kansas. The site (14BT301) has not been fully reported, and this effort is a step in that direction. The human remains were determined to include two men of African ancestry, and eight of white Euro-American ancestry. Historical research determined the burials are associated with the so-called Walnut Creek massacre whe…

Metal Detection, An Essential Remote Sensing Approach for Historical Archaeologists
Over the last thirty years, metal detection has become an essential tool in historical archaeology, yet the majority of archaeologists still know relatively little about metal detectors. In this review we trace the increasing use of metal detectors in archaeological survey and research following several notable successes in archaeological surveys that proved their worth. To understand the differences between the two basic types of metal detectors…
Virtual Reconstruction as Archaeological Observation: Embracing New Ways of Treating Sites, Places and Landscapes
Virtual Reconstruction is a powerful tool broadly suited to a diverse array of archaeological heritage applications. In practice, however, reconstruction has largely focused on grand and monumental sites. Here we present two case studies–one from southern Oklahoma, the other from western Nebraska–to explore the use of this technology for more common heritage applications. The goal of this article is to advertise the dilemma we faced with communic…

The Solar Lunar Orientations of the Orkney-Cromarty and Clava Cairns
This paper outlines the background to earlier studies of the orientation of the OrkneyCromarty (OC) passage cairns and the Clava passage and ring cairns, and details the outcome of a new and comprehensive survey carried out by the author over recent years. The paper sets out evidence of orientations in both sets of cairns to the eight divisions of the year and tests whether the alignments were observable. The results were compared to see if the C…
Where the battle rages: War and conflict in Post-Medieval Archaeology
War and conflict has been well represented in Post-Medieval Archaeology over the last 50 years with a range of research exploring the archaeology of conflict in the modern world. The aim of this article is to review themes of war and conflict as presented in Post-Medieval Archaeology and to track the changing nature of their scope and focus, such as the move towards an increasingly multidisciplinary approach encompassing all aspects of human conf…

Contexts for Conflict: Conceptual Tools for Interpreting Archaeological Reflections of Warfare
There has been a long history of interest in the material remains of conflict, but in the last two and a half decades archaeologists have made strides in the study of war and warfare. Techniques have been developed, refined, and borrowed to expose the material record of combat. Sites associated with other military undertakings have been discovered and the material culture of conflict has been documented. This growth has expanded an understanding …

Excavations at Upper Largie Quarry, Argyll & Bute, Scotland: New Light on the Prehistoric Ritual Landscape of the Kilmartin Glen
Excavations were carried out intermittently between 1982 and 2005, by various excavators, in advance of quarrying activity at Upper Largie, Kilmartin Glen, Argyll & Bute. They revealed abundant evidence of prehistoric activity, dating from the Mesolithic to the Middle Bronze Age, on a fluvioglacial terrace overlooking the rest of the Glen, although some evidence was doubtless destroyed without record during a period of unmonitored quarrying. Seve…

Finding Sand Creek: History, Archeology, and the 1864 Massacre Site
The 1864 Sand Creek Massacre is one of the most disturbing and controversial events in American history. While its historical significance is undisputed, the exact location of the massacre has been less clear. Because the site is sacred ground for Cheyenne and Arapaho Indians, the question of its location is more than academic; it is intensely personal and spiritual. In 1998 the National Park Service, under congressional direction, began a resear…

An Inscribed Native American Battle Image From The Little Bighorn Battlefield
A brass artifact found in the Hunkpapa campsite that was attacked by Lt. Col. George Armstrong Custer on June 25, 1876 is engraved with images of soldiers and American Indians. The battle image was scratch engraved on this unique medium in a pre-Reservation Biographic style reminiscent of rock art and robe art of the same era. It may depict a scene from the Battle of the Little Bighorn or the Rosebud Battle of June 17, 1876. In any case, the arti…

The Nordenskiold Campsite: A Test in Historic Archaeology
Gustaf Nordenskiold, a Swedish gentleman and archaeologist, camped and worked on Wetherill Mesa in Mesa Verde National Park from July to September in 1891. During the summer of 1970 a salvage crew working on Wetherill Mesa recovered the remains of Nordenskiold's third campsite. Utilizing the known date of occupancy for the site, the validity of historical dating techniques based on artifactual analysis was tested

The bullets buzzed like bees’: Gunshot wounds in skeletons from the Battle of the Little Bighorn
Gunshot trauma is an important, but often overlooked, avenue for interpreting the historic past. Ten skeletons of Seventh Cavalry troopers, killed during the Battle of the Little Bighorn in 1876, are analysed osteologically. Six of the ten specimens have gunshot wounds, including three to the cranial vault. The other wounds are to postcranial remains, including one in an innominate. This wound location aids the identification of the individual, c…
