There is an article about the archaeology of the Blitz in the latest Current Archaeology, which is relevant to the debate. One of the contributors states that: 'little can be learnt from excavation that is not already known.But that is not the point. The role of Second Worl War archaeology...is to use excavation as a powerful educational tool, a nexus for interdisciplinary scholarship, and a source of social cohesion and a sense of shared community history'.
