The difficulty lies in interpreting the public consensus, and in translating it into decisions that balance the interests of the individual with those of the community. Fortuitously, my arrival at English Heritage coincided with the Secretary of State’s announcement in March of his intention to publish a Heritage Green Paper later this year. As he said, ‘it is an essential function of Government not merely to deliver a range of specific remedies to particular problems, but also to promote a broader discussion about the objectives which we should set ourselves in a given field of policy’.

This specially prepared book, with contributions from all the major excavators on the Wall, describes research and discovery that has taken place since the last pilgrimage in 1999. This has been an extraordinary decade for Wall-research, featuring the discovery of the probable ancient name for the barrier, and the recognition Compiled by N. Hodgson of a previously unknown element of its anatomy (obstacles in front of the Wall), which is the rst such addition to our image of the Wall in modern times. This book explains where the new information is to be found, and will appeal to all who visit or study Hadrian’s remarkable frontier.

  • 3D Laser Scanning for Heritage Advice and Guidance on the Use of Laser Scanning in Archaeology and Architecture Summary
    3D Laser Scanning for Heritage Advice and Guidance on the Use of Laser Scanning in Archaeology and Architecture Summary The first edition of 3D Laser Scanning for Heritage was published in 2007 and originated from the Heritage3D project that in 2006 considered the development of professional guidance for laser scanning in archaeology and architecture. Publication of the second edition in 2011 continued the aims of the original document in providing updated guidance on the use of three-dimensional (3D) laser scanning across the heritage sector. By reflecting on the technological advances made since 2011, such as the speed, resolution, mobility and portability of modern laser scanning systems and their integration with other sensor solutions, the guidance presented in this third edition should assist archaeologists, conservators and other cultural heritage professionals unfamiliar with the approach in making the best possible use of this now highly developed technique. This document has been prepared by Clive Boardman MA MSc FCInstCES FRSPSoc of Imetria Ltd/University of York and Paul Bryan BSc FRICS.This edition published by Historic England, January 2018.
