"Archaeology, Heritage, and Wellbeing fills an important gap in the academic literature, bringing together experts from archaeology/ historic environment and mental health research to provide an interdisciplinary overview of this emerging subject area. The book, uniquely, 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 being, harnessed to support non-medical therapeutic interventions to improve wellbeing. Authentic engagement with the historic environment can also provide powerful tools for community health and wellbeing, and this book offers examples of the diverse communities that have benefited from its capacity to promote wellbeing and wellness. Archaeology, Heritage, and Wellbeing is for students and researchers of archaeology and psychology interested in wellbeing, as well as researchers and professionals involved in health and social care, social prescribing, mental health and wellbeing, leisure, tourism, and heritage management"--

Despite some high-profile exceptions, the archaeology of theSouth Caucasus (present-day Georgia, Armenia, and Azerbaijan)remains marginalised and often overlooked - not receiving the widerexposure it deserves. This situation is partly a consequence ofdecades of occupation and academic isolation, and partly because ofan unfortunate (and incorrect) perception that the South Caucasusis simply peripheral to the archaeologies of Europe and Asia.
The chapters collected in this volume demonstrate the diversityand vibrancy of international research collaboration in thearchaeology of Georgia, while all underline the enormous potentialof the country's archaeological resource. The importance of seeingthe South Caucasus in its unique context, rather than as peripheralto Europe or Asia, is evident throughout. The increasingapplication of scientific techniques to archaeological research andlandscape archaeology features prominently in many of thesechapters. However, the key element is the multidisciplinary natureof much of the work, which allows specialists drawn from a widerange of backgrounds and scholarly traditions to contribute to thebetter understanding and appreciation of the Georgian historicenvironment.
