“…This saw substantial changes to its structure over its lifetime and several phases of reconstruction can be recognized. Internally divided into smaller compartments; it is broadly consistent with the increasingly heterogeneous range of plan associated with late Roman barracks on the Northern Frontier (Hodgson & Bidwell, 2005). The ceramic assemblage is typical of late Roman military assemblages in the region and appears to run as late as the AD 380s.…”

This study explores the impact of recent discoveries on our understanding of the transition from the Roman to early medieval periods in northern England. Using the Tees Valley as a case study, it shows how modern interpretations of this process have focused primarily on the afterlife of the military sites in the region. However, the increased identification of significant Roman civilian settlements forces us to reconsider the dominant narratives and rethink the underlying processes that influenced the move from Roman-controlled frontier society in the fourth century to a fifth century society comprising both culturally Anglo-Saxon social groups and sub-Roman successor polities. A wider consideration is also given to how the changing patterns in the use of space and in refuse disposal strategies can be used to shed light on wider patterns of changing social identity in the later fourth century AD.

“…In the west, Roman antecedents have been proposed for the fords north of Burgh-by-Sands, which Edward I planned to use to invade Scotland in 1307 (Richmond 1966: 199–203); crossings still existed when the Ordnance Survey map sheet Cumberland XVI was surveyed in 1865 (Ordnance Survey 1868). A ford also appears on the same map 1.5km from the pre-Roman hillfort at Cargo to the north-west of Carlisle, while a Roman precursor near the nineteenth-century crossing beside Warden Hill has been deduced from the presence of temporary Roman camps (Hodgson 2017b: 71). A further temporary camp lies adjacent to the South Tyne ford at Butt Bank.…”

Hadrian's Wall and Border Studies: Problems and Prospects

Hadrian's Wall remains one of the most iconic elements of Roman frontier infrastructure, with considerable symbolic capital in all kinds of contemporary situations and representations. Whether inspiring the fictional ice wall in Game of Thrones or illustrating debates about English–Scottish relationships in Brexit-era Britain, the Wall has a powerful legacy. In more scholarly circles, the Wall sometimes figures in the literature of the emerging field of Border Studies, too, and in this paper I examine some of these representations, as a prelude to discussing what Border Studies offers to Wall studies within Roman archaeology. While the interdisciplinary nature of Border Studies can mean that Hadrian's Wall is misunderstood when taken out of context, this does not mean that the broader insights of Border Studies have no value to Roman archaeologists in better interpreting the Wall and its place in Roman Britain. To the contrary, the combination of innovative theories of frontiers and borderlands with detailed, nuanced understanding of the Wall communities through time has much to offer the archaeology of Britain in the Roman empire. Indeed, this field has the potential to connect frontier studies better with other dimensions of Roman provincial archaeology than has been typical in our discipline over much of the last half-century.
