On my tombstone it should read archaeologist Sarah Cattell changed Linda Brogan's life. With her boss Adam Thompson, we spent weeks planning, budgeting, designing the Reno excavation. Sarah has this extra quality: every time Manchester City Council, the Heritage Lottery Fund, or Art's Council said no Sarah would calmly say 'it will happen'. Her calmness spurred me on to yes. And brought a beautiful vibe to the excavation. Photo taken by Karen Rangeley.
Sarah: 'It's a little bit more personal if you like. With the Roman stuff and earlier we have to start with a blank canvas and work it all out . . . with the recent stuff . . . we can now focus on that person's history that family's history . . . '
