Lees Court Excavation - Bexley YAC with Fred Birkbeck
On Saturday 7th September Bexley YAC took part in the KAS excavation at Lees Court. Our aim (apart from excavation) was to fulfil some of our BAJR passport skills, with Fred’s help, especially the geophis and surveying.
Fred gave us a tour of the site and an excellent explanation of what the archaeology was being interpreted as. We learnt a lot about how we date early periods from the tools people used.

Great news - we have added a new feature to our Kent Archaeological Reports. You can now use an interactive map to find reports in an area and even sort by Phase. You are still able to look at the full reports in a list format as well, however the sorting facility allows you more freedom to find the reports you are interested in for example, Anglo-Saxon etc.
You can find this new feature via the publications drop-down or click on the link below to go there now:-
