Description
The Archaeology of Operation Nightingale: Broken Pots, Mending Lives The recovery of armed forces personnel from military conflicts can be a long-lasting experience. Archaeology, with its focus on uncovering the past, offers a unique opportunity for solace and healing. Operation Nightingale, a programme established in 2011, brought together archaeology and military recovery, using the British Training Areas as a base. The project has since expanded to include veterans from older conflicts and other nations. This book tells the story of the veterans who have participated in Operation Nightingale, their incredible discoveries, and their journeys of recovery. The authors have taken them to various sites, including crash sites of Spitfires, trenches of the Western Front, and burial grounds of Convicts. The book features a foreword and illustrations by Professor Alice Roberts, alongside superb photography by Harvey Mills. Lavishly illustrated, the book showcases how the discovery of our shared past can be restorative, helping people mend damaged lives.
