| Collection Title | WallCAP: The Hadrian's Wall Community Archaeology Project Collections and Map |
| Description | WallCAP, funded by the National Lottery Heritage Fund, combined the ethos of community archaeology to meet key aims relating to the archaeological research and conservation and management of the Hadrian's Wall World Heritage Site. There were two primary strands of focused activity. First, a series of fieldwork interventions were undertaken at six sites in the Wall corridor with the aim of addressing issues that form part of the Heritage At Risk (HAR) agenda; this HAR strand undertook research that met key objectives in the Hadrian's Wall Research Framework as well as better understanding risks or resolving risks to specific sites. Second, fieldwork and research was focused on understanding the 'stone biographies' of Hadrian's Wall, through analysis of the geology of the region, the fabric of the Wall, and tracing this to prospective quarries and post-Roman structures that reused Wall-fabric; this arm of the project was known as the Stone Sourcing & Dispersal (SSD) strand. Another key part of the project was the construction of a bespoke GIS for Hadrian's Wall, with the underlying database and tables constructed to capture details and features specific to the Wall. The project also coordinated training and events for volunteers and communities to participate in, though these do not form part of the archive. The WallCAP archive draws together key data, reports, and results of the work undertaken to complete the HAR and SSD strands of the work, and making the WallGIS available to the public. |
