Journal of Conflict Archaeology reveals the hidden graves of the Holocaust
Issue 7.2 (2012) of Journal of Conflict Archaeology includes an article by forensic archaeologist Caroline Sturdy Colls. The article Holocaust Archaeology: Archaeological Approaches to Landscapes of Nazi Genocide and Persecution explores Holocaust archaeology through a number of case studies, including one of the Treblinka extermination camp in Poland where between July 23, 1942 and October 19, 1943 over 800,000 Jews were executed.
Dr Sturdy Colls used non-invasive methods including radar in her excavations so as not to disturb or desecrate the surrounding area, in line with Jewish Halacha Law. Ultimately Dr Sturdy Colls argues that Holocaust archaeology should be studied as an established
sub-discipline within conflict studies.
