​Engage with military history

Military History Live is a specialist field unit devoted to conflict archaeology. We run projects in Britain, Italy, France, and elsewhere to investigate the archaeological remains of war from ancient times to the world wars of the 20th century. 
​
Our team includes military historians, landscape archaeologists, geophysicists, excavators, metal-detectorists, finds specialists, photographers, GIS and computer data processing experts.
​

Our repertoire of techniques has been developed over more than twenty years of field experience.

​We focus on fieldwork, and our aim is both to carry out cutting-edge research and to make field archaeology accessible to all. 

We are currently running several expeditions to offer opportunities to work and learn as part of a real archaeological team.
