Both the ring ditch and the barrow ditch are being cleaned up and further explore by the hardworking volunteers…

The Society officially has its own branded van!

Hopefully the new stickers will increase awareness of the county as we travel to sites, school visits and exhibitions.

The Isle of Thanet Archaeological Society (IOTAS) is pleased to announce that we have two exciting talks coming up in April and May.

The UK has rainfall records dating back 200 years or so, but the vast majority of these are in handwritten form and can't easily be used to analyse past periods of flooding and drought. The Rainfall Rescue Project is seeking volunteers to transfer all the data into online spreadsheets. You're not required to rummage through old bound volumes as the Met Office has already scanned the necessary documents - all 65,000 sheets.

The Kent Archaeological Society is continuing to follow and monitor official guidance from the UK Government and Public Health England carefully. It is of vital importance for us to ensure that any and all procedures are in place to support the health and well-being of our volunteers and membership.
