Finds Showcase

Since 1976 Canterbury Archaeological Trust has recovered hundreds of thousands of archaeological finds from its many excavations and other fieldwork.

The objects in our Finds Showcase highlight just some of the outstanding artefacts collected from archaeological investigations across Kent. The Finds Showcase is not limited by a particular theme, but instead is an intention to display finds that represent Kent’s rich archaeological past through objects that date from the prehistoric period to the modern day.

More finds will be showcased on a regular basis, so keep checking the website for new content.
