This volume\u003cbr\u003edemonstrates that the collaborative practice of conflict archaeology has the\u003cbr\u003epotential to reveal the larger meanings, erased voices, and lingering traumas\u003cbr\u003eof war. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eA\u003cbr\u003evolume in the series Cultural Heritage Studies, edited by Paul A.
