Recent Work by Archaeology South-East in Kent

Late 2009 and early 2010 have been busy months for Archaeology South-East, working on a number of sites in Kent on behalf of Kent County Council. Most of these projects are still early in the post-excavation process of analysis and reporting, but discoveries and highlights from two of them, Northern Relief Road, Sittingbourne and Leysdown Road, Isle of Sheppey (fig 1), are presented below.

Both of these sites held family open days for the public. Visitors had the opportunity to see the archaeology and view finds and environmental remains with ASE specialists. Despite the unpredictable weather, lots of people came to visit the sites and see the archaeologists in action.
