Veteran-Led Excavation at Revolutionary War Battlefield Aims to Illuminate History and Support Disabled Veterans

A recent excavation at the Battle of Camden site in South Carolina brought together fourteen disabled veterans, organized by the American Veterans Archaeological Recovery (AVAR), to explore the historically significant Revolutionary War battlefield. Over a month-long project, the veterans, equipped with GPS technology, sought to gather spatial data to better understand the battle’s dynamics, particularly the role of the American militia during the conflict. AVAR founder Stephen Humphreys emphasized the importance of this initiative not only to enhance historical knowledge but also to empower veterans, many of whom face disabilities, by engaging them in archaeologically meaningful work. The effort aimed to produce a heat map of troop movements during the battle and underscored the veterans’ unique insights into conflict sites, transforming their experiences into a powerful connection with history. Partner organizations included the American Battlefield Trust and the Historic Camden Foundation, highlighting the initiative’s dual mission of historical education and veteran well-being.
