The Archaeology of Conflicts

For the first time, this volume brings together an international group of experts on the topic of early modern military encampments in Northwestern Europe. Despite the flourishing of conflict archaeology across the continent, the discipline lacks a consistent terminology and adequate typology for describing and interpreting the large variety of structures in encampments and the finds they contain. On a methodological level, it remains difficult to detect these large-scale but low-impact military features in the small windows offered by trial trenching. Many of these sites go unrecognized, as a result of their ephemeral nature and lack of comparative framework and are therefore subsequently destroyed. The authors in this book take on this challenge, giving an overview of the documents, features and finds that are linked to military encampments and the methodologies that can be applied for their identification and interpretation.


Pour la premi?re fois, ce volume rassemble un groupe international d'experts autour du sujet des campements militaires aux temps modernes dans l'Europe du Nord-Ouest. Bien que l'arch?ologie des conflits soit en plein essor sur le continent, il manque ? la discipline une terminologie consistante et une typologie ad?quate pour d?crire et interpr?ter la grande diversit? de structures dans les campements et la culture mat?rielle qu'ils contiennent. D'un point de vue m?thodologique, il reste difficile de d?tecter ces ph?nom?nes de grande ampleur mais ? faible impact par le biais de petites fen?tres offertes par des diagnostiques arch?ologiques. ? cause de leur nature ?ph?m?re et par manque d'un cadre comparatif, de nombreux sites ne sont pas reconnus et sont par cons?quent d?truits. Les auteurs dans ce livre rel?vent ce d?fi en pr?sentant un aper?u des documents, des structures et de la culture mat?rielle associ?s ? des campements militaires, ainsi que des m?thodologies qui peuvent servir pour leur identification et leur interpr?tation.
