“…There are structures surviving in the regions of the central and east walls arising from lime burning activities of the 18th and 19th Centuries. While the practice of quicklime production was certainly carried out in the late 15 th and early 16 th centuries as well as by the Romans (Carlton et al 2011), surviving kilns from the Roman period within the vicinity of Hadrian's wall are relatively rare. A Roman lime kiln on a limestone outcrop is suggested at Queens Crags which is 800 metres north of Sewingshields Crags near Housesteads (Crow, 1991), another was identified in the area between the eastern fort ramparts of Housesteads and the Knag Burn (Simpson 1976), the latter is the only excavated example known from the line of the wall (Symonds & Mason, 2009).…”

This paper presents the results of analytical work which aimed to explore potential sources for the lime mortar used in the Hadrianic fort baths and a third-century repair to Hadrian's Wall at Wallsend, UK. It is generally assumed that quick lime for mortar is produced close to the source, however, as yet, no archaeological evidence of kilns has been found in the Wallsend area. After extensive analysis the mortars were found to be very different in characteristics and suggest variable sources for the quarried limestone and for the aggregates used to manufacture the mortar.

This paper seeks to make a methodological contribution to archaeological praxis of working-class communities, by illuminating how archaeologists engaged in oral history-based research with working-class communities may encounter authenticity as a methodological challenge. Drawing on my PhD research on football as cultural heritage, I will outline the authenticity problem I encountered in the field: the enforcement of hierarchies of authenticity by working-class football supporters in response to their experiences of marginalisation in the sport. In turn, I will not only show how these hierarchies of authenticity present obstacles to researchers looking to build relationships of trust with their subjects, but also indicate some solutions to this authenticity problem. Specifically, I will show how it is often useful to “fall into the trap of authenticity” as a researcher and use the interview setting to discursively construct yourself as authentic on your subject communities’ own terms.
