Hello

Just recirculating our call for a planned session at SHA 2018 on the archaeology of Europe in the Interwar Period (1918-1939). This is being proposed by the team from the Durham University Landscape Archaeology of Great Depression Projec t (www.slumpscape.org)  - please circulate to anyone who may be interested 

The Archaeology of Interwar Europe (1918-1939)

The interwar period was one of extraordinary change. Out of the ashes of WWI grew an increase in consumerism, paradoxically played out alongside the Great Depression. Extreme politics flourished, and authoritarian regimes became established in Spain, Italy, Russia and Germany. The tensions between these new state formations and traditional polities resulted in re-armament and ultimately conflict. Simultaneously, the foundations of the post-War settlement and the welfare states were being laid. These social, economic and political developments all resulted in material developments that can be interrogated archaeologically. Whilst the archaeology of the 1920s and 1930s has been embraced by the research and CRM community in the US, it has largely remained underexplored in Europe, although the archaeology of the two World Wars has become increasingly a topic of interest. This session proposes to address this lacuna in research, highlighting existing work and identifying avenues for further research.

Subject: Conflict Archaeology in the West session at SHA 2018

Hi all,

I'm chairing a session on Conflict Archaeology in the West at SHA in New Orleans, and I'd love to include anyone who's working on projects (in any stage of completion) in the "West". Let me know where you're working and if you'd be interested in being included in an edited volume on the topic.

Cheers,
Dana
