The project, which is being undertaken by No Man’s Land – The European Group for Great War Archaeology, will undertake excavations on the First World War Battlefield near the village of Ploegsteert, in Wallonia, Belgium.
_
The team will be led by Martin Brown and Richard Osgood, both archaeologists with Britain’s MOD.
_
The project will be a partnership between NML, the Comines-Warneton Historical Society and a number of academic institutions, including Cranfield University, Shrivenham. Members of their Masters in Forensic Archaeology will be joining us, led by their geophysics guru, Peter Masters.
_
Also welcome to the team is Peter Chaaseaud. Peter is the expert on Trench Maps and has written a number of works on the Great War:
Peter is also our Artist in Residence.

Keep checking this blog for updates, project background, media reports and THE DIG DIARY, which will be live from the end of July to mid-August.
_
To reflect the international nature of the project we will have different bloggers authoring contributions in a variety of languages.

PLEASE NOTE:
The Team List for the project is full for 2007 and we cannot take further volunteers.
