Seeing the Past Through Different Eyes: From Berkshire to Bluestones

Julian Richards has spent over 50 years bringing the past to life for audiences with a wide range of ages, experience and abilities. In this talk he will explore the ways in which archaeologists tell stories - the ultimate aim of exploring the past. Drawing on his experience of working with blind adults and children with additional educational needs Julian will explain how individual challenges can help develop different ways of seeing the past.

Julian Richards is an archaeologist, sometimes author and, in a former life, presenter on TV and radio. As well as his obsession with Stonehenge, Julian’s lifelong mission has been to bring the past to life, telling the stories that can emerge from archaeology. He also likes pots of all ages and old cars.
