Can You Help Us Find Some Missing KAS Equipment?

The Kent Archaeological Society is undertaking a project to locate and catalogue archaeological equipment that has previously been loaned to affiliated groups and individual members for fieldwork.

A number of items have yet to make their way back to the Society, and we are hoping that members may be able to help us track them down.

The equipment we are currently looking for includes:

• Pentax PX-06D EDM theodolite

• Sokkisha TM 20D 20-second theodolite

• Geoscan RM4 soil resistivity meter

• Magellan Meridian handheld GPS

• Foster-Cambridge Introscope

No questions asked — no blame attached!

We are simply trying to locate these items so that they can be serviced, properly catalogued and made available again for future Society projects and members.

Perhaps one of the items is still sitting in a group’s storage shed or container, tucked away under a workbench or in a garage after a previous project. Or maybe you borrowed a piece of equipment for a survey some years ago and, for whatever reason, it was never returned.

If any of this sounds familiar, please get in touch.

Even if you are unsure whether you have one of the items listed above, or know where one might be, we would be very pleased to hear from you. We can arrange collection where appropriate.

With your help, we hope to bring these useful pieces of archaeological equipment home, give them some much-needed attention and put them back to work for the Society and its members.

Thank you for helping us track down KAS's missing equipment!
