About Joel Bohy
I am a historian, material culture specialist, and historic arms researcher specializing in the American Revolutionary War, with a deep focus on the Battles of Lexington and Concord, Bunker Hill, and the Siege of Boston.
Growing up in Concord, Massachusetts, I developed a passion for Revolutionary War history at age seven, dedicating my life to bringing the human stories of 18th-century soldiers to life through archaeologically found artifacts, objects in collections, and primary documentation.
Through J. Bohy Historical Consulting, I provide research, material culture analysis, and conflict archaeology consulting for public archaeology programs, cultural resource management firms, museums, historical institutions, media, and other venues. My evidence-driven approach blends traditional research with forensic science techniques adapted to a historical context, hands-on experimental studies and battlefield archaeology.
Whether you are looking for conflict archaeology consulting, media expertise, collection or single object placement, or a guest speaker for your next event, I’d love to collaborate with you.
