Über den Autor

Gilly Carr is a Lecturer in Archaeology at the University of Cambridge's Institute of Continuing Education, as well as a Fellow of St. Catharine's College, Cambridge. Her publications focus on the material culture of internment, and on the legacy and heritage of the German occupation in the Channel Islands.Harold Mytum's research concentrates on the archaeology of western Britain and Ireland from the Iron Age to the present, and global historical archaeology (17th-20th centuries). He is exploring the interface between archaeology and cognate disciplines through one of his current research projects - the materiality of 20th-century internment.
