2016 Conflict Archaeology Field School in Hanko S. Finland now confirmed

I have today received final confirmation that "Hangö Sommaruniversitet" will finance a three week long archaeological excavation of "Deutsches Lager Hanko" from June 27th to July 16th 2016. The excavation will be organized in the form of a conflict archaeology field school open to anyone interested in WW2 history and conflict archaeology.

The team supervising the field school will include me and archaeology students Anu Varjo (University of Helsinki Dpt. of Archaeology) and Jasmin Jyrä (University of Aberdeen Dpt. of Archaeology).
