The Roman fort at South Shields Tyne & Wear: excavations 1875-1975
John N Dore
John Pearson Gillam
The fort began in the first half of Hadrian's reign as a small cohort fort facing S, and had its garrison reduced during the occupation of Scotland. Early in Marcus Aurelius's reign it was reoccupied; rebuilding as a supply base for the Scottish campaigns of Severus followed, then came reversion to cohort occupation, and alteration of many granaries to living quarters, under Severus Alexander. In later 3rd century occupants of the vicus appear to have moved into the empty fort. From mid-4th century to 5th military use intensified with the Numerus Barcariorum Tigrisiensium in occupation. Catalogues of decorated and coarse wares, many coins, mortaria stamps, lead seals, and glass are provided.

Investigations were directed to examining the conditions on the riverside, to see how and when the land was reclaimed, how divided thereafter, when the streets originated, the date and purpose of the buildings. Occupation began in 12th century (pottery manufacture) and various frontage works were made in 13th, with two streets made in late 13th. Over twenty ovens and hearths were built up to 16th century; subsequent rebuildings maintained the street lines. Waterlogged deposits yielded organic remains and a secure chronological framework has been established in eight phases from before 1200 to 1960.
