Operation Nightingale: Archaeology as a recovery tool for injured service personnel
-

This is a past event

Free lecture by Richard Osgood, Ministry of Defence.

Operation Nightingale has received a special British Archaeological Award in recognition of its innovative use of archaeological work to boost the recovery and career prospects of military personnel injured in Afghanistan.

This unique and hugely successful programme has involved investigations into the Bronze Age and Anglo-Saxon deposits at Barrow Clump. Soldiers excavate material, including Saxon grave goods, moved by badgers who have constructed their setts on the prehistoric monument.

This lecture is organised in conjunction with the Society of Antiquaries of Scotland.
