Title Investigating Wall Stone (1) Introducing the Method
Description Introducing the method used to investigate where the Wall stones on Hadrian's Wall have been sourced from and how to recognise them where they have been reused in post Roman buildings. The success of the Stone Sourcing and Dispersal Project, a part of the Hadrian's Wall Community Archaeology Project, is dependant on volunteers discovering the fascination and value of geology in understanding the raw materials - stone and mortar - used to construct Hadrian's Wall. It also requires the volunteers to learn a method to observe and record information about the stone. This guide introduces and summarises this method. It also points to a series of other guides which have been written to give further detail on the method and to further explain how the variation observed in the stones came about from a geological point of view.
