The ESTOC group - founded in March 2007 in Oudenaarde, Belgium - brings
together leading archaeologists, historians, architects and heritage
professionals from eight European countries to promote research into and
the preservation of places of conflict in the European past. Taking
advantage of this opportunity to discuss issues of conflict at the
location of momentous past military activity, this session seeks to promote
the work of the group by providing an opportunity for researchers into
past conflict to present their work to the European archaeological
community. We seek contributions that explore the wide range of
archaeological work on human conflict, relating to landscapes, artefacts and human
remains from all periods, from prehistory to the present.
