TAG 2008 Session: Archaeologies of Military Occupation
Within the discipline of Conflict Archaeology, the study of the
materiality, battlefields, landscapes, and war memorials of WWI and WWII
have emerged as a rich source of archaeological information. This session
proposes to explore another aspect of conflict archaeology: the archaeology
of military occupation. Papers which deal with aspects of military
occupation of the historical past, specifically WWI and WWII, are sought
for this session, although case studies of military occupation further back
(or forwards) in time will also be welcome. Particular themes to be
addressed might include: · Heritage issues, such as the commemoration and
memorialisation of occupation today, and how it is presented to the public
in museums. · How military occupation affected the landscape, and how that
landscape is understood or used today. · Looting and destruction of
cultural heritage during military occupations. · The materiality of
occupation and how the material culture of the period typifies the shortage
of food, fuel and raw materials and the experience of occupation more
generally · The materiality of resistance, whether passive, active or
silent.
All queries, suggestions and titles / abstracts should be addressed to:
