Title Roman Masonry: A Beginner's Guide
Description This guide provide an introduction to the types of Roman masonry found around the Hadrian's Wall area, outlining the tools and techniques used by the Roman masons, together with a guide to recording stones. Where possible, terms are supported with illustration to provide a clear visual example. Terms found in the glossary are italicised in the main text, for the benefit of the reader. The guide has been prepared in support of work undertaken for the Stone Sourcing and Dispersal (SSD) strand for the Hadrian's Wall Community Archaeology Project (WallCAP), hosted by Newcastle University and supported by the National Lottery Heritage Fund. All images are copyright of the author, unless otherwise indicated. The guide is intended to be an introductory text, to provide a handy reference work while in the field or in the comfort of home, without the expectation that the reader already has a degree in Roman archaeology. However, there is an assumption that the reader is familiar with the basics of Hadrian's Wall.
