​Engage with military history

Military History Live is a specialist field unit devoted to conflict archaeology. We are planning projects in Britain, Italy, Albania, 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, and computer technicians.
​

Our repertoire of techniques has been developed over more than a decade of field experience.

​Our aim is both to carry out cutting-edge research and to make field archaeology accessible to all. 

We are planning our expeditions and tours to offer opportunities either to work as part of the archaeological team, whether full-time or part-time, or to join a battlefield tour with privileged access to the archaeological process.​
