Welcome from the Editor

Welcome to the Summer 2017 Newsletter. This time of year has traditionally been difficult to extract news or articles as many of us are busy preparing for a summer of fieldwork projects, etc. However, the membership has bucked this trend. I'm pleased to say that this edition contains a variety of historical and archaeological articles, exciting fieldwork project updates, an interview with our Hon Gen Secretary and, the first of a new regular feature, a short article showcasing an existing project from the academic sector.

I think it's important the Society looks beyond its borders and is aware of the range and types of historical and archaeological projects being carried out in other parts of the country by academic institutions. I continue to encourage as many members as possible to think about writing articles and help inform the wider historical and archaeological community of what is taking place in our heritage-rich and diverse county.

If you haven't already done so, please search Facebook for the "Kent Archaeological Society" and like the page.

Thank you again to our readership for their continued support and providing such interesting and inspiring articles for publication. Please continue to forward your articles or notices to newsletter@ kentarchaeology.org.uk

Enjoy this issue of the Newsletter and look out for the Christmas issue with updates on new and existing projects throughout Kent.

Best wishes,
Richard Taylor
