Welcome from the Editor

Welcome to the Winter 2022 Magazine.

Following a busy summer, we have a bumper winter issue packed with abundant and intriguing material and discussion. It seems like the entire membership was involved in fieldwork, surveying, or research during the summer, and that can’t be bad.

While editing the many articles in this issue, the theme that continually jumped out at me was the invaluable efforts of the many volunteers that took part and made the projects so successful. On a personal level, it was equally rewarding for me to help train and instruct many of these volunteers in fieldwork techniques, recording practices and survey methods.

Following a successful AGM, several significant changes to the Society are highlighted in this issue; in particular,

I would ask you to read Prof. Kerry Brown’s piece on the reconstitution and the future direction of the Society.

I continue to encourage as many members as possible to think about writing articles and help inform the broader historical and archaeological community of what is taking place in our heritage-rich and diverse county. Please continue to forward articles or notices to richard.taylor@kentarchaeology.org.uk

Enjoy this issue; Merry Christmas and a happy and healthy New Year to all readers.

Best wishes,
Richard
