In the past two decades, conflict archaeology has become firmly established as a relatively
new and promising field of research, as reflected in publications, symposia, conference
sessions and fieldwork projects. It has its origins in the study of battlefields and
other conflict-related phenomena in the modern Era, but numerous studies show that
this theme, and at least some of its methods, techniques and theories, are also relevant
for older historical and even prehistoric periods. This book presents a series of
case-studies on conflict archaeology in ancient Europe, based on the results of both
recent fieldwork and a reassessment of older excavations. The chronological framework
spans from the Neolithic to Late Antiquity, and the geographical scope from Iberia
to Scandinavia. Along key battlefields such as the Tollense Valley, Baecula, Alesia,
Kalkriese and Harzhorn, the volume also incorporates many other sources of evidence
that can be directly related with past conflict scenarios, including defensive works,
military camps, battle-related ritual deposits, and symbolic representations of violence
in iconography and grave goods. The aim is to explore the material evidence for the
study of warfare, and to provide new theoretical and methodological insights into
the archaeology of mass violence in ancient Europe and beyond
