What is wellbeing and how can we find it? It can be found in many different activities and projects, and I have been lucky enough to experience a number of these as Professional Lead Advisor for OT at DMRC Headley Court over the years; many have been inspiring and successful. It encompasses important areas of life, principally Tasks, Mood, Social inclusion, Relationships and Culture. In this paper I will look at these areas in more detail and explore how archaeology can have a significant, and positive effect on a people’s wellbeing.
