Calling all voluntary sector archaeologists
Kent has a great variety of voluntary groups, working their hardest to investigate the archaeology and history of our ancient and unique county. Although there are times when a nice fat Heritage Lottery Grant or a rich patron is the answer to inevitable financial constraints, often it is a relatively small sum that can make all the difference.
The KAS Fieldwork Committee has money set aside for such a situation. Funds can be applied for in advance, with a good case clearly explained. There is also, however, a new facility offered by the Fieldwork Committee: this is access to Emergency Funds, up to £500 at a time, for those unexpected circumstances where a sudden need arises for funding, e.g., for quick conservation of an important find or the unexpected calling in of a specialist to look at a discovery.
Details can be found on the KAS website, where you can download a special form and once it is completed, forward it to the given contact.
