Holocaust Archaeologies: Approaches and New Future Direction

The investigation of Holocaust sites using archaeological methods has emerged in recent years as a new sub-discipline. In this lecture, Professor Caroline Sturdy Colls will discuss her work at two sites of persecution–Treblinka and Alderney–highlighting how innovative, interdisciplinary approaches have led to new spatial, historical and material understandings of these landscapes of mass violence. Professor Sturdy Colls will also consider the impact that these investigations have had on communities around the world and new methodological possibilities for future research.
