Today is both #findsfriday and #fossilfriday! Although as archaeologists we don't routinely deal with fossils, we do occasionally come across them.

An interview with KAS Trustee Liz Roberts and General Manager Richard Taylor discussing the findings at the The Lees Court Estate Project features on BBC Radio Kent’s The Wake Up Call with Anna Cookson, available on BBC Sounds (starting at 42:00).

It was a rather wet #findsfriday today! Although this meant little chance of digging, it did mean the team were able to sort all of the washed and dried finds from this year's excavations.

It's #findsfriday and on such a bright and sunny day the conditions are perfect for #potwashing! This large lump of mud was hiding a beautifully decorated piece of #Mortlake #neolithic pottery dating from c. 3350 - 2900/2700 BC.

It's #FindsFriday or should I say #FlintFriday! At the beginning of this week longstanding Maidstone Museums volunteer Angela joined me at our offices in Marsham Street to look over a box of Lower Medway Archaeology Group (LMAG) finds labelled hand axes.
