Combat Archaeology is an international organization committed to the promulgation of systematic and developed knowledge of the nature of combat and combat in the past. Our mission is to research, interpret and convey material and issues on the subject of combat and to encourage interdisciplinary interaction between researchers in a variety of fields. To this end, the organization cooperates extensively with an international network of expertise, consisting of persons with academic and practical backgrounds in subjects related to combat, most notably from archaeology and martial arts. Combat Archaeology thus draws upon a vast array of sources and critical assessments, which ensure a high level of consideration in the presented material and the maintenance of academic integrity in all its mediums of knowledge.
