Our research group is interested in the emotional significance of certain precious things in our lives. How do objects which often have no economic value provide us with a sense of comfort? What stories lie behind significant objects? Can treasured objects help us to reduce stress and anxiety and improve wellbeing? We bring together a multidisciplinary perspective from Archaeology, Philosophy, Health Sciences and Literature to answer some of these questions.
