So as I mentioned above, I have just finished writing a manuscript for an upcoming book on the below subject for Helion and Company Publishing, to be released late 2016. Set directly in the middle of the Military Revolution, its main argument is that there are no coincidental artefact depositions associated with Early Modern battlefields, as the level of drill and dictation of movement dictates the frequency and nature to which such finds are lost; a factor that can be measured and modelled clearly through archaeology. Originally based upon my Masters Dissertation, it has been a project long in the gestation and thought process before coming to fruition. It not only focuses upon manuals use within a battlefield environment, but equally stretches to creating models and norms that can be applied to earthworks and defensive features and their effective protection due to todays urban sprawl. Coming to a bookshop near you soon
