Abstract
The study of conflict has emerged over the first two decades of the 21st century to become an increasingly interesting and respected branch of archaeology. It covers a diverse range of phenomena related to violence and military practice, addresses all periods from the deepest human past to the present, and goes beyond a concern with the past to offering therapeutic opportunities in the present. This entry provides an introduction to the breadth of the field by a review of its historical development from the 19th century, of how it works in practice in the present, and current themes of concern.
