Following the success of our Heritage Lottery Funded project, we are now building handling kits for schools beyond the Canterbury District with the support of the Kent Archaeological Society.

What is a CAT KIT?
A stimulating cross-curricular resource suitable for all National Curriculum Key Stages and school club activities. Each kit contains:
• Pottery, building and animal bone fragments of pre-Roman, Roman, medieval and post-medieval date. Many of the finds have been donated by the Dartford District Archaeological Group.
• Booklet describing the finds plus some teaching ideas and additional classroom materials.
• ‘How big is your pot?’ measuring chart.
• ‘Feely Bag’.
• ‘THE BIG DIG’ Canterbury Whitefriars, CD of photographs about the excavations

Plus special ‘CAT KIT’ pages of colour photographs, illustrations and reconstructions related to the objects at www.canterburytrust.co.uk/schools/catkit01.htm
