In the past two decades, conflict archaeology has become firmly established as a 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 to 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.

The idea of producing this edited volume proceeds from a common interest in the - photo 1

The idea of producing this edited volume proceeds from a common interest in the study of mass violence and the archaeology of Romes imperial expansion in Gaul and Iberia. It is our explicit aim to place this research into the broader and expanding field of conflict archaeology. In 2015 we organised two symposia at respectively Amsterdam ( The Materiality of Conflict. Aims, methods and theory of conflict archaeology from Prehistory to modern times ) and the EAA Conference at Glasgow ( Battlefield archaeology: Exploring the materialities of conflict ), after which the decision was taken to collect a number of papers and edit a peer-reviewed volume out of them. Since most overview volumes on conflict archaeology are focused on rather recent historical periods, the choice was taken to focus on contributions dealing with Late Prehistory and the Roman period. For this purpose, we invited speakers from the sessions in Amsterdam and Glasgow, and in addition to that some other scholars were asked to contribute in order to further strengthen the profile and cohesion of the volume.

The nineteen chapters in this volume provide a combination of site-specific analysis and larger overviews, as well as a mixture of information coming from the reassessment of well-known sites (e.g. Alesia, Numantia , Thorsberger Moor) and new excavation and survey projects such as those at the Tollense Valley, Baecula, Arausio and Monte Bernorio. Beyond the discussion of particular case studies, we aim to contribute to the development of methodological and theoretical approaches to the study of past conflict. Although the volume is focused on ancient Europe, many of the contributions can be of interest for scholars working on other parts of the world and later periods. We hope that the book will play a role in the broader international discussion on conflict archaeology and be a stimulus for further research.

Finally, we would like to thank the EAA and in particular the series editors Prof. Kristian Kristiansen and Prof. Eszter Bnffy for including this volume into its new monograph series, as well as the two anonymous reviewers for their valuable comments.
