Kent Chapter

The Kent County Chapter of ASD 

President Steve Cox:  stcrossroads1@gmail.com

New membership is encouraged. Members receive The Bulletin, a yearly publication, and Inksherds, the quarterly ASD newsletter, along with information about upcoming regional archaeology events and learning opportunities.

Archaeology may be defined as “disassembling the ground in a meaningful way”.

Therefore, we- the Kent County Chapter of the Archaeological Society of Delaware- seek not only to dig, but also to understand the past.

To accomplish this, we will strive to do our research responsibly, to record and report our data diligently, and then- having become as informed and educated as we can be – to interpret our discoveries intelligently, and so, hopefully preserve something of our shared local history (and pre-history) for posterity.

Three things we do as an ASD chapter:

1. Create local opportunities for volunteers.
2. Motivate and train volunteers to support the pros in the work.
3. Educate the public in Delaware archaeology and historical preservation.

That’s our mission, our vision, and our niche.
