Welcome Welcome to the spring 2023 edition of the CAT newsletter. This time of year brings the hope of blue skies and finer weather, something which our team of field archaeologists are certainly looking forward to, especially after some of the appalling weather conditions endured over the winter – with some sites, quite literally, under water! In this edition, we are celebrating our future archaeologists and archaeological specialists, introducing some of those who are either just beginning their careers at Canterbury Archaeological Trust or those more established in archaeology who are developing and learning new skills. We also introduce a new member of the CAT team, Mark Williams, Senior Operations Manager. Mark brings a wealth of archaeological experience, as well as an interest in sustainable development and climate change, and is excited by the opportunity of joining CAT at this important point in our development. And finally, we showcase some of the recent work undertaken by the Trust, including that by our Artist-in-Residence, Bryan Hawkins, whose exhibition in Rochester presented art works inspired by archaeology.
