SSD in Action - Pilot Study

The Hadrian’s Wall Community Archaeology Project (WallCAP) examines the landscape heritage of the Hadrian’s Wall corridor and World Heritage Site (WHS) by building a community-based network, guided and trained by professionals. The project aims to foster local engagement and social investment in heritage landscapes. WallCAP is funded by the National Lottery Heritage Fund and hosted by Newcastle University.

Hadrian's Wall Community Archaeology Project

This session will introduce the SSD Pilot Study and explain how you can use the tools and training you have been learning.

What’s this about: Over the past few years you have all been learning about the Wall’s geology and the way the wall has been constructed and re-used in post-Roman buildings. In addition, a lot of work has been done by you to record details of the shape and size of Wall stones and geological data in the curtain wall, forts, towns and in post Roman buildings. In parallel with this we have been developing a set of tools and guides which will allow you to continue to do this work once the WallCAP project is finished. This session will kick off a pilot study and will introduce you to the set of tools and guides which will further enable the work which you have been doing for Stone Sourcing and Dispersal. We will talk through a set of targeted locations to look at for this pilot study, for you to go out and try out these tools and guides. By doing this we can not only collect more information to support the work of the SSD project but also make sure that the tools and guides work to properly support future work on the wall stones. What we will be doing: Giving an overview of what the pilot study is about and how it fits together. Explaining the new tools and techniques: •	The SSD app •	The SSD database •	Archival work Walking through the target sites for this pilot study Talking through the set of guides: •	Geology •	Masonry •	Quarries •	Repurposed stone •	Archival research •	SSD App •	SSD database Explaining how this work will be supported, for example through drop-in sessions.
