Wartime violence, mass violence: questions of method

A former member of the French School of Rome, Dr. Lehoërff graduated from the University of Paris I-Panthéon-Sorbonne with degrees in archaeology and history and has been Professor of ‘European Protohistory’ (from the Neolithic to the Iron Age) at Lille 3 University since 2012. A specialist in ancient metalwork, she created a metal archaeology lab in Lille, where many weapons are studied. In 2009 she wrote a postdoctoral thesis allowing her to become a thesis director at the (EHESS): By Arms: the Invention of War and Metal in Europe from the 45th to the First Century Before the Common Era. She is head of the European "BOAT 1550 BC” project and in charge of the "archaeology/ancient worlds” mission at the Ministry of Higher Education and Research.
