This very successful one day course was held in the Dartford and District Archaeological Group's headquarters, off Lowfield Street, Dartford, on Saturday, 5th September 1992.
The course was organised by the Kent Underground Research Group (a branch of the KAS) and conducted by Rod Legear, their Hon. Secretary and a fieldworker with a great deal of experience in recording and surveying underground sites. As well as the methods of underground work, basic surface surveying techniques were explained and the importance of tying in any survey to Ordnance Survey points was stressed.
The success of the day was reflected in the fact that most of those who attended also chose to come to the optional practical session on the following Saturday, to put some of the theory into practice in a true underground situation.
The organisers would like to thank the owners and manager of Chislehurst Caves for allowing KURG the use of a section of the caves away from the 'Tourist Route' for this practical session. The feedback from the two days has been very positive and a number of attendees have joined the Kent Underground Research Group.
The organisers would also like to thank Sharon and Graham Mitchell of Dartford and District Archaeological Society for their help and assistance on the first day at Dartford.
