| Collection Title | WallCAP Project Digital Archive: Stone Sourcing and Dispersal (SSD) |
| 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. This collection brings together the results of the Stone Sourcing and Dispersal (SSD) strand. The fieldwork and research undertaken for this strand 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. WallCAP volunteers were able to participate in a number of geology walks and fieldtrips, and participated in SSD in Action, where they recorded Wall stone within the fabric of Hadrian's Wall and of post-Roman buildings. Project staff took samples of Wall stone during excavations, and from quarry sites for petrographic analysis. |
