Historic Landscapes and Mental Well-being

A groundbreaking approach to mental health well-being through the engagement with historic landscapes, particularly UNESCO World Heritage Sites like Stonehenge and Avebury, has emerged as a transformative strategy in archaeological resource management. This volume, stemming from the Human Henge project, demonstrates that such heritage-based initiatives can significantly contribute to health-care and wellness programs. It compiles diverse experiences and theoretical frameworks from projects across Britain and continental Europe, highlighting their potential to foster mental well-being while advancing the understanding of heritage's role in modern society.
