It has been more than a quarter of a century since archaeologists from across the world gathered in Scotland for the first International Conference in Conflict Archaeology in April 2000.
This September, ‘Fields of Conflict’ will be returning to Glasgow for its 13th Biennial Meeting. It is an auspicious time. An opportunity to celebrate, and to reflect on the past 25 years of success and development as a distinct field within the discipline of Archaeology.
Equally, it is a critical time. As the founders of the field give way to a new generation of scholars, Conflict Archaeology faces new challenges, and new opportunities. What lies ahead for the study of the physical remains of inter and intra-group violence?
Thus, Fields of Conflict 2026 offers the opportunity for scholars and heritage professionals to gather and celebrate their accomplishments and look forward to future developments of the field.
