Looking ahead

A new project, Whose Hoo, is starting up in Kent and will be based on the Hoo Peninsula.

Whose Hoo is a heritage funded, landscape scale project. The Peninsula is a hidden gem brimming with rich heritage and diverse habitats that many people throughout Medway are unaware of. The project hopes to run from late 2024 until 2027.

Through engaging activities, educational programs, and community involvement, the Whose Hoo project aims to highlight the treasures of the Hoo Peninsula, creating a stronger bond between people and their local environment. This is an exciting 3-year project that promises to reveal the wonders of this often-overlooked landscape while safeguarding its heritage and natural beauty for future generations to cherish and enjoy.

What’s great is that our very own Andrew Mayfield will be joining as the community archaeologist. The archeological activities will involve tasks from research, to surveys and fieldwork. To keep up with main developments head to the project website.

Big fields and little flags

We were recently invited by Wessex Archaeology to help with fieldwalking activities in the Gravesend area. Archaeological investigations are currently being undertaken in fields and grounds near Shorne Woods in relation to the development of the Lower Thames Crossing project.

Many thanks to the staff – they made us all feel very welcome (and thanks for making cups of tea and providing biscuits).

Flints and the British Archaeological Timelime

We’ve had some queries about flint knapping and thought we’d post a basic run down of the British timeline along with some introductory sheets on flints.

Thanks go to Trevor for putting this together.

Farewell to the ‘Plateau’

We are now in the process of backfilling the second building and simultaneously we will be cleaning the excavation of building three followed by recording, photographing and
then backfilling.

This will bring an end to over three and a half years of excavations on the Plateau site.

Once this is completed we will move on to an exciting new site in the east of the park, of more anon……

We are on site most Thursdays and Fridays so do come and say hello or better still join us for a day. Please send us an email first to make sure we are on site as occasionally we work away.
