Kibboth Crew – Roll Call

Comrades in Arms

The Roll Call

During the three weeks of the dig a great camaraderie developed.

49 volunteers worked in small groups with a maximum of 5 per archaeologist.

Adam Thompson, in charge of the dig, was frequently assisted by Brian Grimsditch.

Two other archaeologists, Steve Bell and Ruth Garrett each spent a day on the dig.

John and Gill Wild the owners of Kibboth Crew visited everyday.

Many other people from the Ramsbottom Heritage Society would have liked to have volunteered but were unable to do so for personal reasons
