Archaeological Research Delivery Group, Hadrian's Wall Management Plan Minutes of Meeting: 7Th October 2016, Vindolanda Presen Archaeological Research Delivery Group, Hadrian’s Wall Management Plan Minutes of meeting: 7th October 2016, Vindolanda Present: Richard Hingley, Rob Collins, Andrew Birley, Jacqui Huntley, Rachel Newman, Sue Stallibrass, John Scott, Matthew Symonds 1. Apologies for absence David J. Breeze, Nick Hodgson, Tony Wilmott, Frances McIntosh 2. Matters arising Hadrian’s Wall forum, newsletter, and networking meeting SS wondered if more notice of the HW forum date and programme could be given. She noted that if one of the research delivery mechanisms is an annual forum, then there needs to be close dialogue between the group and the forum. RC reported that David Mason was happy to continue running the forum. AB suggested that after the spring meeting the group could feed suggestions and offers of support through to David, and as soon as there was an event to market the group could help with that. MS said that the forum date could be promoted in Current Archaeology. RC noted that C&W and SANT would also be obvious groups to disseminate this information to. RN reported that C&W were helping to subsidise publication of the Newsletter. It is also supported by AASDN. AB wondered if the Newsletter would be as effective if moved online and SS felt that the magazine would benefit from being more widely distributed. RH suggested that this would be worth raising at the Partnership Board, as it is also relevant to the Marketing Group. AB noted that there was strong demand for copies of the newsletter from people visiting Vindolanda. MS felt it was a shame that it could not be stocked in EH bookshops along the Wall too. The mission statement RH expressed gratitude to Mike Collins for drafting a mission statement for the group. After dissemination via email a few changes were made and a new version circulated. Those present unanimously backed the new version of the statement. 3. Membership of the group RH proposed that following the retirement of JH from HE, she should be invited to remain a member of the group as an independent specialist. This was warmly endorsed by the group. RH also reported a proposal that Mark Douglas from the EH Trust should be invited to join the group. Given the number of properties managed by EH along the Wall it was agreed that it was important for the group to be kept abreast of activities and developments. The group agreed that RH should contact Mark Douglas and invite him to join. JH questioned whether Pete Wilson, who has retired from HE and this group, should be replaced. SS felt that she and TW could represent HE. JS wondered if Paul Frodsham, who is not a member of the group, would like to provide regular reports on Heritage at Risk when the project is up and running, following his earlier presentation on the subject. It was agreed that it would be appropriate for the group to invite individuals to attend a meeting when specific matters needed to be addressed. RH suggested that David Mason might like to attend on a similar basis, given his role with the newsletter and annual conference, although it was felt that time pressures might preclude this. It was suggested that there could be corresponding members who would be copied into emails and attend if possible. RH recommended inviting a community representative to join as well. RH observed that it was not desirable for the group to grow too large, and that ideally numbers would be kept below 20. Action: RH to invite Mark Douglas to join the group 4. The Research Framework RH felt that there was not time to finalise this during the meeting. He opened discussion by observing that he would like more on two aspects in the updated framework. One is the local – that is the groups referred to as ‘indigenous’ in the original document – dynamic, and the other is the antiquarian archaeological history and research tradition. AB noted that certain areas needed updating, such as the emphasis on magnetometer surveys, which has largely been delivered. Our aspirations should reflect modern developments, and include more on LiDAR surveys and GPR. SS observed that although geophysical survey of the immediate vicinity of forts had mostly been achieved, the wider landscape with its attendant field systems has not received as much attention. RN pointed out that while a lot of the requirements have been addressed in some way, many are ongoing and require further attention. For instance, there has been one transect across the Wall, but we need more. It was felt that the definition of the Wall corridor should be revisited. RH suggested that the wider landscape ought to be included so that the Research Framework could look beyond the WHS. He also felt that it would be difficult to update the document without any dedicated resources. RN suggested that at least one open meeting was needed to discuss what should form the contents of any revised framework. SS wondered why we were looking at this now – when there are no resources available – given that the NE, NW, and East of England are due to deliver updated frameworks in April 2018. Another RF on the built environment is underway, and there is a fifth project looking at a web platform for the NE and NW frameworks, incorporating a GIS and searchable database. RN pointed out that these frameworks were intended to be reviewed every 5 years, and we should assess what we have achieved to report back to partnership. In that regard it is a review, not a revision. RC felt that reviewing the current state of research would help the group to focus its role. SS pointed out that such information could also be disseminated via the website. RN suggested a review of the current state of research, in a format comparable to the original HWRF meetings. RH noted that expanding the networking meeting by a day would provide an appropriate venue. JS reported that this year’s networking day was on 26th November at Hexham Mart. The following year – the anniversary of the inscription – would provide a good opportunity to assess what has happened. SS thought this would be a great time to give out the first research award. The group agreed that we should use and disseminate the knowledge that has come out of the recommendations in the HWRF. RH felt we needed a new direction, and that we are seen as old fashioned by archaeologists, while archaeology is itself seen as old fashioned within universities. To change opinions we need to feedback what has been achieved through the HWRF, but also reach out beyond our own community. AB suggested a young archaeologists club for HW. JS summed up by observing that we were talking about a Research Framework 1.1, rather than 2.0. Action: Group members to undertake rapid assessment of where advances in knowledge have occurred since the last HWRF 5. Webspace for the Wall JS talked the group through the website (www.hadrianswallcountry.co.uk), where there is an opportunity to share information among ourselves, and with the world. Traffic through the website is 35,000 a month. At present the group’s space is a flat page, so JS invited the group to consider what we want to put up there. AB stressed that putting the minutes online would show that we were an open and transparent organisation. RC observed that it would be useful to include a simple listing of current research. This would be a list of projects and, if it is being undertaken by a student, the name of their supervisor. The PAS has done something similar. RH suggested that he and RC should put together a list of things that they know are underway and circulate it to the group. RN noted that this would also be a very convenient way to keep track of development control work. SS stressed that it would be particularly valuable to keep track of post-excavation work. Contact details were discussed. AB suggested that individual projects would have their own contacted details. Once the minutes started being were posted, though, it was felt there needed to be a mechanism for people to contact the group. JS offered to let messages go through him. MS suggested that it should be specified that it would not always be possible to reply to enquiries. RN suggested that a date should be given for when the minutes would go live. RC recommended that once approved at the following meeting, they should be posted. JS stated that any of the group could upload material to the website, but that he was happy to post it for the group. Action: MS to prepare the minutes to go online 6. Heritage at Risk RC reported that on Wednesday he submitted an application with Paul Frodsham and Kerry Shaw to HLF to look at Heritage at Risk and also stone dispersal along the border. The project name is ‘Hadrian’s Wall Community Landscape Archaeology Project’. New posts attached to the project would help with capacity building. SS wondered what the timescale for delivery for Paul’s HaR work was. JS said that he was asked to put together a report on HaR and that a draft had been delivered. MS said that he would recirculate the draft report to the group. Action: MS to recirculate Paul Frodsham’s draft report to the group 7. Great Places Scheme JS introduced this capacity building project. 8. Sustainability of research community RH wanted to revisit this, as it is a concern shared by the Conservation Group as well.

  • Verulamium, 1949*
    We are grateful to St Albans Museums for their permission to re-publish the photographs of the Verulamium excavations. www.stalbanshistory.org May 2015 Verulamium, 1949* BY M. AYLWIN COTTON and R. E. M. WHEELER URING the past decade, field archaeology in Great Britain has been conditioned by certain D obvious factors. Most of it has been emergency work, the hasty salvage of bombed sites or of sites required urgently by the Armed Services, by factories, by housing schemes, or by related operations such as gravel-digging. Owing to the diversion of talent into fieldwork of another kind, and the temporary cessation of archaeological field-training, the demand for skilled supervisors has exceeded the available supply. More trained workers have been needed urgently. There have indeed been certain encouraging responses to this need. In the north, Professor I. A. Richmond and Mr. Eric Birley, have been conducting an annual school at Corbridge in connection with the University of Durham. The University of Nottingham Depart- ment of Adult Education has conducted summer training schools since 1949 under the directorship of Dr. Philip Corder and Mr. M. W. Barley, in which students have been trained on a Roman site of consider- able importance. In the south, the Institute of Archaeology of the University of London, for five weeks in the summer of 1949, organised a course of training by means of excavation, lectures and classes in survey- ing, draftsmanship and photography at Verulamium, where an excellent site-museum, then under the active curatorship of Mrs. Audrey Williams, fortified by a traditional local interest in such matters, provided special facilities within reach of London.

  • Smear Innuendo & Lie JMG V Gillard Ccvol1
    Smear, Innuendo and Knowing Lie Submission to the Press Council in the Case of Goldsmith V Gillard and The Observer ON SUNDAY June 27, 1982 an article appeared in The Observer signed by Mr Michael Gillard and Ms Lorana Sullivan (Appendix 1) in which I was linked to a scandal which has since become known as the Calvi/Ambrosiano affair. On Sunday July 4, 1982 an article (Appendix 2) appeared in The Observer signed by Mr Michael Gillard in which my name was mentioned in connection with another financial scandal. On this occasion it concerned a company called Imperial Commodities. On Sunday November 28, 1982 an article (Appendix 3) was published in the Pendennis column of The Observer in which my name was indirectly associated with Mr John De Lorean. I would ask you to consider the companies and people involved. Mr Roberto Calvi was Chief Executive of the Banco Ambrosiano Group in Italy. The Banco Ambrosiano was the subject of one of the most scandalous financial bankruptcies in contemporary history. Mr Calvi was found dead in London and there has been much speculation as to whether or not he was murdered. Imperial Commodities was a commodity trading and speculation firm founded and run by a Mr Justin Frewen. It also went bankrupt and was the subject of a local British financial scandal. Mr John De Lorean was a well-known senior executive in the General Motors Group who left General Motors and subsequently, with the financial backing of the British Government, founded the De Lorean Car Company in Northern Ireland.

  • History of Hatfield
    History of Hatfield When Hatfield was founded in 1846, it was a revolutionary development in residential higher education. For the first time, student rooms were let furnished, all meals were taken in Hall, expenses were fixed, reasonable and known in advance. Students and staff were regarded as a community, cared for and guided by College Officers. Most of this is fairly general practice now but it took some time before it became an accepted model throughout the world. 50 years later, after some initial uncertainties Hatfield had developed into a well known, predominantly theological, establishment under Archibald Robertson, later an eminent bishop At the centenary of its foundation Hatfield had changed its emphasis to science and education but reached a low ebb until the end of World War II, when Eric Birley supervised the revival of the College and was responsible for many modern aspects of administration and organization including the establishment of a tutorial system and provision of facilities for a Senior Common Room. In midsummer 2006, the rugby days of Tom Whitworth were history, and the admission of women – agonized under James Barber and grudgingly accepted are now a welcome fact. The features of the present time are, vastly larger student numbers, a wider range of study courses, and increasingly good academic results. The Hatfield spirit – present from early days – is alive and well. There are some things money can’t buy.(2005) 1 SITE AND SETTING Hatfield College is a residential college in Durham University. It is in the city centre, nestling near the Cathedral on its World Heritage peninsula site.

    ERIC BIRLEY PANNONIANS IN ROMAN BRITAIN aus: Zeitschrift für Papyrologie und Epigraphik 73 (1988) 151–155 © Dr. Rudolf Habelt GmbH, Bonn 151 PANNONIANS IN ROMAN BRITAIN In memory of András Mócsy For the Claudian invasion of Britain in A.D. 43, Aulus Plautius brought with him from Pannonia legio IX Hispana, and it is reasonable to suspect that it was accompanied by some of the auxilia from that province. But there is no evidence for more than two alae and at most five cohorts raised in Pannonia, and at one time or another serving in Britain - and the earliest British evidence for one of them is in January 103 (XVI 48). Although the total number of relevant texts is small, and the number of Pannonians identifiable by name is smaller still, there are enough items of interest, whether on Order of Battle grounds or on nomenclature, to warrant a brief survey of the evidence. (a) ala I Pannoniorum Tampiana: The diploma for 17 July 122, XVI 69, was issued to one of its men, the Pannonian Gemellus Breuci filius; and, since it records discharges granted to men of exactly 25 years' service, it follows that he had been enlisted in 97. Now it happens that there is a tombstone from Carnuntum, III 4466 = ILS 2515, commemorating a trooper ala Tam. vex. Brit., which implies that the ala needed at least one replacement when a de- tachment of it was serving in Pannonia; it seems proper to infer that Gemellus joined that part of the unit while it was serving in his home province, and that he had not been sent as a recruit to join the ala in Britain.
