Hadrian's Wall 2016 Long Weekend Tour Form THE ASSOCIATION FOR ROMAN ARCHAEOLOGY LONG WEEKEND SUMMER TOUR Friday 12th to Monday 15th August 2016 HADRIAN’S WALL REVISITED: THE CENTRAL AND EASTERN SECTIONS Single-room accommodation only, at the University of Newcastle, Central Campus Non-refundable deposit of £100 per person with Booking Form to Global West by Wednesday 18th May 2016 Balance to Global West by NO LATER than Wednesday 6th July 2016 Tour cost (single accommodation only): £349 per person Tour Leader Anthony Beeson The Association’s members have not visited Hadrian’s Wall’s central and eastern sections for some considerable time. Excavations and research are continuing and there has been much development in both the provision of new museums and site displays which warrant a return to Hadrian’s Wall. Accommodation has been arranged through Newcastle University in the central part of the University campus at Windsor Terrace. This is single-room accommodation with wash basins in the rooms, and shared bathroom facilities. Check-in times, car parking facilities and expert speakers will be advised on confirmation of booking a place. The Friday evening will commence with a reception at 19:00 hours, followed by a private evening meal in the Courtyard Restaurant at 19:30 hours. The first evening lecture at 21:00 hours will be given by a member of the Vindolanda Trust excavation team. On Saturday morning, after breakfast, we will travel by luxury executive coach to the Roman Army Museum at the site of Carvoran Roman fort, with modern displays on the Roman army and an award-winning ‘Edge of Empire’ 3D film. We then travel a short distance to the excavations at the fort of Vindolanda. A member of the excavation team will guide us around the new and ongoing excavations both in the vicus and inside the stone Roman fort. After lunch (not included) there will be ample opportunity to inspect the new museum with its wide range of artifactual displays, including exciting new finds from 2015. We will return to Newcastle University for our evening meal at 19:00 hours, followed by a lecture at 20:30 hours, speaker to be confirmed. On Sunday, after breakfast, we travel by coach to the Temple of Mithras near the Roman fort of Carrawburgh before heading to Housesteads Roman fort, with its new museum displays and an interactive film. Lunch (not included) will be in Hexham and there will be time to enter the Abbey to view their collection of Roman altars and carved architectural stones. In the afternoon we travel to Corbridge (Coria) to walk around the remains of the supply base and visit the museum, which has a rich collection of sculpture and inscriptions both from the fort and the town. We will return to Newcastle University for our evening meal at 19:00 hours, followed by a lecture at 20:30 hours, speaker to be confirmed. On Monday morning, after breakfast, we will check out of the accommodation, with luggage placed into cars or on the coach, and travel east to the fort of Arbeia at South Shields to view the ongoing excavation of its vicus and the fort, with its full-scale reconstructions of a fort gate, barracks and principia. The small but well-displayed museum contains a good selection of finds from the excavations. After lunch in Newcastle (not included), we will view the Great North Museum’s Hadrian’s Wall collections. The tour will end here at approximately 16:30 hours; the coach will take those travelling by train to the station.

In Britain, as in their other provinces, the Romans constructed a comprehensive network of paved trunk roads (i.e. surfaced highways) during their nearly four centuries of occupation (43 - 410 AD). This article focuses on the ca. 2,000 mi (3,200 km) of Roman roads in Britain shown on the Ordnance Survey's Map of Roman Britain.[1] This contains the most accurate and up-to-date layout of certain and probable routes that is readily available to the general public. The pre-Roman Britons used mostly unpaved trackways for their communications, including very ancient ones running along elevated ridges of hills, such as the South Downs Way, now a public long-distance footpath.

  • Contextualizing Hadrian's Wall
    CONTEXTUALIZING HADRIAN’S WALL: THEWALLAS‘DEBATABLELANDS’ Richard Hingley and Rich Hartis . Introduction This article emphasizes the symbolic monumentality of Hadrian’s Wall, exploring the idea that it was a porous and contested frontier.1 There has been a recent outpouring of archaeological and management pub- lications on Hadrian’s Wall,2 which provide substantial new knowledge and improve our understanding of the structure. In light of the state-of- play with Wall studies today, our motivation here is twofold. Firstly, we aim to encourage the opening up research on Hadrian’s Wall to a broad series of questions deriving from studies of frontiers and borders in other cultural contexts.3 There are many new approaches to contemporary and historic borderlands and frontiers, stemming from geography, history, cultural studies and English literature, and we wish to promote a broad comparative approach to Roman frontiers that draws upon this wider frontier-research.4 Secondly, our approach draws upon recent writings that formulate new approaches to Roman identities and social change,5 1 R. Hingley, ‘Tales of the Frontier: diasporas on Hadrian’s Wall’, in H. Eckardt (ed.), Roman Diasporas (Portsmouth, ). 2 For examples, P. Bidwell, Understanding Hadrian’s Wall (Kendal ); D. Breeze, J.
