Event: Wednesday Talks: Collaborative Forensic Archaeology in the Battle of the Bulge; Recent Fieldwork in Eastern Belgium

Abstract: During August of 2022 a collaborative archaeological team led by Stephen Acabado (UCLA) and Kevin DiModica (University of Namur) conducted forensic archaeological investigations at a US WW2 aircraft crash site in eastern Belgium.  The purpose of the project was to recover material evidence pertaining to a still missing member of the US aircrew.  We discuss the organization of the project, collaboration with our Belgian counterparts and the DPAA, the field methods employed and the results of our field work.
