Steve Roskams worked for a decade in rescue archaeology, directing excavations in Tunisia and in the City of London before moving to the University of York, where he teaches archaeology. Alongside work abroad, in Algeria and Beirut, he has undertaken the investigation of sites in Devon, in Wiltshire, and Iron Age and Roman landscapes and settlement in the Yorkshire Wolds. He advises York City Council on archaeological matters and co-wrote the Yorkshire Archaeological Research Framework.
Originally working in community health, Cath Neal was a heritage consultant before becoming a Research Fellow and Associate Lecturer at the University of York. She is a landscape archaeologist interested in natural and cultural landscapes as a locale for social action in deep time (geological/early Holocene interface) and in palaeoenvironmental reconstruction. She also researches the use of fieldwork as experiential learning and explores the links between historic environment practice and social capital and how this impacts on health and well-being.
