    hi all
    i am currently undertaking a masters in environmental resourse management. i am required to write an essay on the reclaimation of battle field sites focusing on site rehab and archaeological/ historical conservation.
    would anyone have any ideas for me or would you know where to get info on this topic as i'm finding it hard to locate material on this subject.

    any help at all would be much appreciated

    thanks

    hi snowman

    did a bit on battlefield archaeology during my own masters so had ive dug out a few references...

    Freeman, P.W.M., & Pollard, A. (eds) 2001. Fields of conflict: progress and prospect in battlefield archaeology. BAR International Series 958. Oxford: Archaeopress.

    Pollard, T., & Banks, I. (eds) 2006. Past Tense: studies in the Archaeology of Conflict. Leiden: Brill (= Journal of Conflict Archaeology, 1.1).

    Scott, D., Babits, L., and Haecker, C. (eds) 2007. Fields of conflict: battlefield archaeology from the Roman Empire to the Korean War (2 vols). Westport Conn.: Praeger.

    Brady, C., E. Byrnes, G. Cooney and A. O’Sullivan, 2007. An archaeological study of the Battle of the Boyne at Oldbridge, Co. Meath. Journal of Conflict Archaeology 3:1, 53–77

    Cooney, G., E. Byrnes, C. Brady and A. O’Sullivan. 2002. The archaeology of the battle of the Boyne at Oldbridge, Co. Meath. In Archaeology Ireland 16:4:62 (winter 2002), 8–12

    If I remember correctly I think Kieran O'Conor in the Archaeology Department NUIG did something with this subject (or was on the radio etc). Might have been Prof. Waddell, sorrry I can't remember specifically.
