It's #FindsFriday and our curator Andy has been doing a bit of detective work to trace a "missing" coin from the Ozengell Anglo-Saxon collection.

For #MuseumMonday the society is pleased to announce it has acquired the archive of excavations carried out at Moatenden Priory, Headcorn between 1990 - 1993.

As part of her year in industry placement, University of Reading student Holly has been illustrating our Ozengell collection. One Holly's favourite items thus far illustrated is this beautiful long rectangular Marzinik Type II.16 buckle with a long, rectangular buckle plate and narrow, D-shaped buckle frame.

Our curator Andy took the latest batch of the #Ozengell Anglo-Saxon collection over to CSI: Sittingbourne for conservation. This will be the final batch the CSI team will work on; including this lovely Early Medieval pot!

Our friend Dana Goodburn-Brown who runs CSI: Sittingbourne and has been busy conserving our #ozengell Early Medieval collection has put forward a Go Fund Me to carry out more investigative conservation and knowledge dissemination on a number of Anglo-Saxon swords.

Its #MuseumMonday! On Friday 13th our curator Andy organised a research visit with Professor John Hines, Emeritus Professor at Cardiff University.
