Introductions

Well as you have obviously found my blog space, I should introduce myself. I am trained as a conflict archaeologist and military historian, with a passion for the 17th century, The Wars of the Three Kingdoms in particular (although I will occasionally branch out into new areas of interest) as well as battlefield preservation. I am also Archaeological Advisor and Trustee for the Scottish Battlefields Trust. I am also a freelance author and lecturer (please contact me for more information on giving talks/writing articles) and have literally written what I hope are the final words in a publication based around the use of 17th century manuals for conflict archaeology, to be published in full by Helion & Co. Publishing in late 2016. More on that as it becomes available. My research posts, unlike my other blog are likely to be more infrequent, or indeed linked to other articles that I might have written for other websites and blogs. I hope you find them as enlightening as I did writing them
