A 65-year-old woman has appeared in court accused of stealing more than £100,000 from the charity which runs Norfolk's biggest archaeology dig.
Pamela Bent of James Close, King's Lynn, is charged with committing fraud by abuse of position between July 3, 2019 and August 3, 2023, while she was treasurer of SHARP - the Sedgeford Historical and Archaeological Research project.
Bent is also charged with false accounting between the same dates.
The total amount involved was given in court as £115,820.
King's Lynn magistrates adjourned the case to Norwich Crown Court, on August 15.
Bent, who spoke only to confirm her name and address during the brief hearing, was granted unconditional bail.
