Hi All, I wonder on reading Ian Knights, excellent Zulu Rising, if their are any publications relating to the 2000 Archaeological Survey of the Battlefield at Isandlwana. Was that the only survey or were other locations included as well.
Any information will be most welcome or any pointers to the subject that may be here on the Forum.
I met Tony Pollard on the Culloden Battlefield a couple of years ago. Don't know if he may be on the Forum here?

Regards. Idea

Does beg the question. 20000 rounds fired, but they only found a few. Would the empty cases had been reused. scratch

» Battlefield Survey
» Archaeological Investigations at the Battlefield of Rorke’s Drift Very few military items were recovered which support the historical accounts.
