ACTIVITIES OF THE SOCIETY
Throughout the year the Isle of Thanet Archaeological Society holds informal Monday evening meetings at our headquarters behind Crampton Tower in Broadstairs High Street. Members, and others perhaps interested in joining, are welcome to drop in to discuss our current excavations, research local history, examine recent finds, borrow a book from the library or just chat about what is happening in Thanet archaeology.

An archaeologist from the local professional body, the Trust for Thanet Archaeology, is usually available to advise at these evening meetings, and at other times may contribute to informal training of our members in relevant skills that will be useful in carrying out the Society's archaeological projects in Thanet.


Learning to survey

The Society organises occasional public lecture evenings, often held at the Broadstairs campus of Canterbury Christ Church University, and visits to interesting archaeological sites are arranged for members and guests.


Pot-washing at the Trust

We help the Trust with post-excavation work, for example pot-washing, and sometimes assist on their local digs. Fundraising and social events also take place regularly.
