ARCHAEOLOGY OF WORLD WARS I AND II

ARCHAEOLOGY OF WORLD WARS I AND II

Presented by OLLI of Greater Birmingham at Vestavia Hills Civic Center & Wald Park

OLLI of Greater Birmingham presents Archaeology of World Wars I and II with Richard Diehl, Professor Emeritus of Anthropology, The University of Alabama.  From 1994 until 2014, BBC Channel 4 hosted TIME TEAM, a program in which archaeologists and their colleagues combined traditional techniques with the most recent innovations in technology to solve archaeological mysteries.  In this course, we will watch eight 1-hour programs on the archaeology of WWI and WWII.  The topics will include the Blitz of London, the Normandy Invasion, the remains of a downed British Spitfire and an American B-17, the German occupation of the Isle of Jersey, a WWI trench, and a WWI British machine gun school.  In each case, archaeology sheds new light.
