Drawing on major contributions from seven armed forces and informed scholars, this book aims to set out the obligations to protect cultural heritage under international conventions and domestic laws; provide case studies of current military practices with regard to cultural heritage; develop models for academic partnership for military education and planning, and offer insight into ways and means of working productively with the military for the benefit of achieving shared goals. Overall, the volume offers historical perspectives on the problems that warfare poses to archaeological sites, and the examples discussed will provide a basis for planning and undertaking future heritage stewardship worldwide.
