The Trust's main activities are to:
- carry out archaeological excavations in Canterbury, its district and the county of Kent.
- record standing buildings.
- manage the Archaeology in Education Service (AES) for Kent schools and colleges.
- publish reports of the Trust's investigations, both popular and academic.
- provide planning advice for archaeology to Canterbury City Council
- act as the Investigating Authority for the Canterbury Area of Archaeological Importance.
The Trust's base of operations is at 92A Broad Street, Canterbury. This is where the administrative offices are located and the finds department and post-excavation offices. The Trust's library, which includes the collection of the Canterbury Archaeological Society, is open by appointment to students and members of the public.
The work of the Trust is supported by the Friends of the Canterbury Archaeological Trust (FCAT).

gollark: There seems to be horrible lag around the drops now.
gollark: That's a good quote.
gollark: First they came for the song-lyric people, and I did not speak out, because I did not post song lyrics.Then they came for the linkers, and I did not speak out, because I did not post links.Then they came for the people asking for an offer they accidentally declined, and I did not speak out, because I did not ask for offers I accidentally declined.Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.
gollark: Replace "socialist", "trade unionist", "Jew" etc with "person who does X, Y, Z".
gollark: ``` First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a socialist. Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a trade unionist. Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a Jew. Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.```
