Abstract: | In the last two and a half decades there have been many advances in the technology available to archaeologists. As new technologies
have been used to challenge previously held hypotheses and expand the capabilities of current research, they also have assisted
the expansion of archaeology to include conflict archaeology. Although there has been a long history of interest in the material
remains of conflict, it is only recently that the necessary tools, methodology, and theoretical approaches have been combined
to allow serious scientific contributions to the holistic study of past human conflict. This article provides an overview
of the origins of conflict archaeology and research that has helped consolidate the subfield into its present form. We examine
the current state of conflict studies and consider what lies ahead for conflict archaeology. |
