Bob Clarke is Deputy Research Director at Wessex Archaeology and a prominent advocate for accessibility in heritage and research. Living with a visual impairment, he has pioneered adaptations that enable people with sight loss to participate fully in archaeological fieldwork, analysis and public engagement. Bob champions inclusive methods such as tactile interpretation and accessible reporting, and he encourages organisations to rethink assumptions about who can work in the sector. His practical innovations and policy advocacy show that disability is a matter of design and practice, not limitation, and have made archaeology more welcoming to underrepresented participants. By creating opportunities for meaningful involvement, Bob reframes heritage practice and promotes equitable access to the study of the past, ensuring that curiosity and expertise are not constrained by physical barriers.
