In this volume, Tony Pollard and Neil Oliver visit the sites of six major British battles, from Shrewsbury to Culloden, and carry out a full archaeological investigation at each. As they uncover artefacts abandoned in the heat and chaos of battle they closely follow the progress of each engagement and answer key historical questions, sometimes totally revising the accepted version of events. Each chapter is a fully framed investigation and follows an episode of the BBC television series. By using archaeology to unlock the secrets of the past, Tony and Neil prove that soldiers do not pass through fields of conflict like shadows, and in the process they show that battlefields are some of our most important national monuments.

A fun tour into battlefield archaeology

By Melita Kennedy on August 27, 2005

Format: Hardcover

I originally saw this book in the British Museum's bookstore 18 months ago. Because of luggage restrictions, I didn't buy it. This year when I returned to London, I did purchase it. Then I sat down and read through the entire book. The authors pick a famous battle, do general research about it, find some fact and then try to prove or disprove it by--digging trenches. And using ground-penetrating radar, and other high-tech devices. It's quite fun, and interesting what they still can turn up after hundreds of years. Because this is a companion guide to a television series, it's not a hardcore scientific treatise, but designed for the general public.

A sequel is available.

Now If I could just get a copy of the television series...

Making archaeology fun

By Mark A. Desjardins on November 1, 2009

Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase

These two can certainly do it! I spent two weeks with them "in the field" in Eshowe, South Africa, as well and I can promise you that Tony and Neil know how to make battlefield archaeology appealing to all! I wish them more such adventures! When do we get to see chapters/episodes on Maiwand? on Tel el-Kebir? on Kut???

All the best chaps!
