Archaeology as Rehabilitation

http://www.southwalesargus.co.uk/news/9623660.Soldiers_dig_in_for_historic_victory/
A project in Wales is giving injured soldiers the chance to participate in archaeological projects, such as a Roman building. One soldier notes that the same soil-observation skills which he developed to detect IEDs in Afghanistan can be used in archaeology to notice changes in the ground and likely sites. Some soldiers are considering studying history and archaeology in school after their recovery/discharge.
