A Conference at the Dept. of Archaeology, University of Glasgow 15-16 April, 2000. In Conjunction with Dept. of Archaeology, University of Liverpool and Scottish Centre for War Studies, University of Glasgow. Over recent years there has been a growing interest in the archaeological potential of battlefields. This is partly due to the recognition that these sites represent an important part of our cultural heritage, and one which for a variety of reasons may be under threat. Prior to the involvement of archaeologists, the study of battlefields had been the preserve of historians working with documentary records, although the wider appeal of the subject also gave rise to a plethora of re-enactment groups, the growth of battlefield tourism and the mass of pouplar literature devoted to militaria.
