The help and interest of Jill Eddison is also gratefully appreciated.Thanks are also due to all the specialists who have helped in studying the excavated material:
Since 1991 the UCL Field Archaeology Unit (UCLFAU) has been investigating the settlement pattern and landscape history of part of Romney Marsh in Kent, revealed by gravel extraction at Lydd Quarry. The project manager describes the work and shows how it is contributing to our knowledge of rural life in medieval England
