| Abstract: |
The article looks at the history of Wall studies, starting in 1848 with the author of the Handbook to the Roman Wall and considering his influence on subsequent scholars. The article reviews the later contributions of R G Collingwood, J P Gibson, F G Simpson, Ian Richmond and Eric Birley; their different perceptions of the role of excavation; and their different approaches to research. The author concludes by commenting on the current state of research on Hadrian's Wall and its place in Roman frontier studies, and suggesting that a wider framework of study is needed. |
