Broken Pots, Mending Lives by Richard Osgood
Featuring brilliant photography, this book explores the innovative recovery programme that supports wounded soldiers through involvement in archaeology.
Uplifting and inspirational, it is a book we need to keep returning to, to remind us all of those who serve and the damage they endureHeroes – one and all. * Professor Dame Sue Black, Baroness Black of Strome *
Richard Osgood’s superb book is the story of the healing power of archaeology – of compassion, team-building and self-discovery gained in pursuit of a common goal. Broken Pots, Mending Lives is a thought-provoking celebration of our humanity and a reminder of what a remarkable profession archaeology will always be. * Barry Cunliffe *
I’m in awe of Richard Osgood. His passion is infectious. He believes in exploring the past as much as he believes in living healthy, happy lives; and he shows how the two are linked. * Dan Snow *
It’s been a privilege to work with Operation Nightingale over the years and witness the positive impact that getting your hands dirty on a dig can have on mental health. Talking with veterans has really brought the power of archaeology to heal home to me. * Sir Tony Robinson *
