So bringing the palace to life and telling the stories of those who lived there is a real challenge. Its one we were delighted to take up when invited by Heritage and Tourism International (HTI), a partnership between Oxford Archaeology and Team Tourism, to consult on the creative development of interpretive strategies and techniques for this huge site. HTI and Imagemakers looked at a number of immersive and engaging approaches, ranging from cutting edge technology to more simple methods. One of the most exciting aspects of the whole project is the unprecedented access visitors will have to archaeological excavations as they are taking place. This will give the opportunity for Daming to be a benchmark for archaeological and interpretive best practice where techniques and theories are tested and explored. In the meantime, our collective proposals and visuals are being considered by the Chinese developers of the Daming Palace Heritage and Interpretation Park.
Daming Palace was a fitting monument to this prosperity. It was the major residence of emperors and the grandest, most significant palace complex in the Changan imperial city. The most impressive of all the buildings was Hanuyan Hall where important guests of the emperor were welcomed. But all that remains for todays visitors to see are the rammed earth foundations, covered in concrete to protect them, giving no sense of history or wonder of this amazing site.

An Invitation
Three beaver families have been released on a nature reserve in Argyll, in a scheme which is also the first ever formal reintroduction of a native mammal into the wild in the UK. The six-year experiment by the Scottish Beaver Trial partnership aims to see how well the animals fit in to todays countryside and the beavers will be closely monitored. Imagemakers is pleased to announce the launch of its new website. You are cordially invited to view the site (imagemakers.uk.com), where there will be regular updates about new media and its place in the interpreters tool-kit, and to join in the debate on the blog, set up as a place for interpretation professionals to exchange ideas.

These stories are graphically illustrated in an exhibition we created for the Northern Ireland Environment Agency in the Roe Valley Country Park visitor centre. A large frieze of specially commissioned aerial photos of the river from source to sea runs around part of the space, incorporating a stylized representation of the river.
