The Need

Canterbury requires an Archaeological Unit capable of the highest standards
which will excavate, record, evaluate, interpret and publish the archaeology
hidden beneath us.
The reasons why:
Its position at the gateway to Europe for 2,000 years.
Its primacy in the history of the English Church.
lts scene of continuous settlement since at least the pre-Roman period.
Its unique importance between London and the continent since the Roman occupation.
lts role as tribal capital from A.D. 43 and the focal point of Kent throughout history.
Its importance as the principal English centre of pilgrimage in the medieval period.
‘», mteers can do much of the excavation work, but the uncovering of the ancient past also
requires experts to supervise and publish the work, and highly skilled conservators to clean
and repair the finds.
The Unit will check all proposed development and public works for their archaeological
interest, so that irretrievable knowledge of our heritage should not be destroyed or lost
without record for the benefit of present and future generations.
Canterbury looks for help to the nation's great institutions, to industry,to private individuals,
and to its visitors past and present, in short all who enjoy and value this small but historic
City. Please consider not how little but how much you can give. Cheques, covenants,
securities, or cash should be sent to:—
