A new archaeology exhibition unearths layers of history and the lives of Cantabrians during the 19th-Century.
All the objects showing at Cathedral Square Unearthed were uncovered during excavations conducted following the 22 February 2011 earthquakes.
This includes merchant wares and household treasures.
In 2011, archaeologist Katharine Watson was one of a handful of people doing archaeological work in the city.
Katharine is now Chair of the Christchurch Archaeology Project - the group behind Cathedral Square Unearthed which coincides with the 15th anniversary of the earthquakes.
