Excavating the Past and (Re)Finding Myself
Participation in heritage and archaeology is increasingly offered in the community to support mental health and wellbeing, particularly to groups experiencing mental health challenges. One group is military veterans, who experience higher rates of mental health challenges but are less help-seeking than the general population. Since 2011, archaeological projects have been offered to veterans to support transition, mental health, and wellbeing. Con…
Archaeology, Heritage, and Wellbeing
The book provides archaeologists and heritage professionals with an introduction to the ways in which mental health researchers view and measure wellbeing, helping archaeologists and other heritage professionals to move beyond the anecdotal when evaluating the strengths and weaknesses of such initiatives. Importantly, this book also serves to highlight to mental health researchers the many ways in which archaeology and heritage can be, and are be…

Authentic and Therapeutic Engagement with the Past for Veterans at Nokalakevi, Georgia, and on Breaking Ground Heritage Projects in the UK
This article presents a study of the value of archaeological excavation as a non-medical intervention to support mental health and wellbeing among military veterans. Beginning by discussing quantitative psychological data that shows that it is effective, the article considers qualitative data from UK, Georgian, and Ukrainian veterans to begin establishing “how” archaeology is effective
The recent contribution of scientific techniques to the study of Nokalakevi in Samegrelo, Georgia
The site of Nokalakevi, in western Georgia, has seen significant excavation since 1973, including, since 2001, a collaborative Anglo-Georgian project. However, the interpretation of the site has largely rested on architectural analysis of standing remains and the relative dating of deposits based on the study of ceramics. Since 2013, the Anglo-Georgian Expedition to Nokalakevi has collected a diverse dataset derived from multiple scientific techn…

The lost fortress of Onoguris? Newly discovered sixth-century AD fortifications at Khuntsistsikhe, western Georgia
The village of Khuntsi is located in the Martvili municipality of Samegrelo, western Georgia, on the west bank of the Tskhenistskali River, on the road that links Martvili, Khoni and Kutaisi. A few short sections of wall on Kukiti Hill (known locally as ‘ Najikhu’ , translating roughly from Mingrelian as ‘ruins (remains) of a castle’) indicate the presence of a fortress. Six years ago, the installation of a mobile phone mast and associated infras…
Pedagogy and Practice
With significant job losses across the UK heritage sector resulting from the recent economic crisis and subsequent austerity measures, and UK higher education on the brink of effective privatisation, the teaching of applied archaeological techniques and its relationship to graduate employability has never been more keenly scrutinised. In February and March 2011 the author collected data relating to the provision and assessment of fieldwork from a…

Excavating a memory
This paper describes the discovery of a sherd of mid 19th century British pottery during excavations at the site of Nokalakevi, in Samegrelo, western Georgia in 2002. The transfer-printed design on the sherd, though only partially surviving, was clearly identified as representing Horse Guards Parade, London. Standard archaeological practice might have seen the sherd, a modern artefact retrieved from the topsoil, discarded, as having no archaeolog…

The Parkers of Heytesbury
This paper uses original documentary evidence held in the archives of the Wiltshire Archaeological and Natural History Society in Devizes to reassess the work of William Cunnington, FSA, carried out on behalf of Sir Richard Colt Hoare, and the contribution of his two principal excavators, Stephen and John Parker, of Heytesbury, in Wiltshire. Previously the Parkers have been regarded as little more than regular labourers on Cunnington’s pioneering…
A day in the life of a training excavation
This paper considers current issues in the teaching of archaeological fieldwork skills, using a British university's summer excavation as a case study. Analysing diary accounts submitted by participants – including members of staff, undergraduate students and local volunteers – on an hourly basis throughout one working day provides a unique insight into the training process. Key issues such as the hierarchy and structure of the project itself can…
