Summary: Archaeocast 16 is a special edition, recorded on behalf of Oxford-Wessex Archaeology, a joint venture between Oxford Archaeology and Wessex Archaeology. In the second podcast in the series about the archaeology of the East Kent Access Road we visit the site during one of our July 2010 Open Days to find out about what has been found so far, speak with specialists about prehistoric flint tools and how we learn about past environments, find out what some of our volunteers have been up to, and go on a site tour of a late Iron Age village. About the East Kent Access Road A new road is to be built on the Isle of Thanet in east Kent during 2010-11. The road will be 6.5 km long and will cross one of the richest archaeological areas in Britain. Before construction begins archaeologists will excavate the whole length of the route. This will be the largest excavation in Britain in 2010, covering approximately 40 hectares.
