Dead or Buried – where are the mass graves on historic battlefields? – Peter Masters
Every battlefield guide is asked “Where are the bodies buried?” at least once on every tour. The usual answer is “We don’t know”. However, we know people died, and we know they must have been buried – so where are they?
Peter Masters is an archaeological geophysicist with over 35 years in the field* and is currently completing his PhD in archaeology at Cranfield University. In this talk Peter will be looking at the issues involved with locating the remains of the dead of battles in both the pre and post industrial eras.
* Not just one field of course. Lots of fields. And meadows. And moor land.
