Really pleased with our session on “Archaeology for Recovery” at @tag45.bsky.social Great to combine perspectives from archaeology, psychology and, most importantly, the experience of #wellbeing benefits from veterans themselves 🏺 @karenburnell.bsky.social @richardosgood.bsky.social

I'm on my way to the 46th Theoretical Archaeology Group conference at Bournemouth (for the first time since I co-organised the 40th in 2018 at Chester). I'm presenting this pm in the session 'Mortuary Memes' about 'TikTok Archaeodeath' and on Sunday in the 'Cosiness' session about 'Cosy Cremation'.
