KAS takes part in Festival of Archaeology

This was the first Festival contribution undertaken by the Society for several years. In addition to the many Museum-organised activities, including an archaeology sandpit and the opportunity to wear/handle reenactor dress and equipment, the Society provided a finds table hosted by Curator, Andy Ward. The Society Library, hosted by Interim Archivist Peter Titley, allowed the public to handle books and documentation whilst Deputy Manager Richard Taylor gave a talk on the role of a fieldwork archaeologist. The day proved a great success, and special thanks are due to Lyn Palmer of Maidstone Museum for organising a smoothly run event.
