Notes
An interesting bound collection of the author's accounts of archaeological excavations in East Kent with a presentation letter. This copy is inscribed and signed and was clearly a gift to a French colleague M. Henri...... as is witnessed by the accompanying letter, which has what appears to be a response from the recipient on the last page.
We have not seen a copy of this paper before. Rare.
