Two Men In A Trench: Battlefield Archaeology - The Key To Unlocking The Past by Neil Oliver
Battlefield archaeology allows you to touch what history talks about; it starts where the written stories stop - Tony Pollard In each chapter of TWO MEN IN A TRENCH, Tony and Neil visit the site of a major British battle, and carry out a full archaeological investigation. Sometimes they will find artefacts that bring the battle vividly back to life; in other cases the evidence may totally revise the accepted version of events. Soldiers do not pass through fields of conflict like shadows - they leave evidence which modern archaeological techniques, including 3-D models of the landscape, can interpret.
