Abstract: |
In August and September 2013, and again in April and May 2014, Oxford Archaeology North (OA North), on behalf of the former Hadrian's Wall Trust (HWT), undertook a research and community-training excavation within the extramural settlement associated with the Roman fort at Maryport, Cumbria (NY 040 374). The project sought to engage, and train, a wide cross-section of the community in a broad range of fieldwork and post-excavation techniques, and to address a series of academic research questions pertaining to the Maryport site, and to Roman extramural settlements in general. Based on the evidence of an extensive programme of geophysical survey undertaken on the site in 2000-4, a block of four putative Roman building plots north-west of the main axial road leading north-east from the fort (which appears to have formed the principal focus of settlement on this side of the fort) was selected for investigation. |
