Through the voices of over 20 Hadrian’s Wall enthusiasts – chosen amongst prominent frontier scholars and archaeologists, re-enactors, curators, walkers and site managers – this volume celebrates the 1900th anniversary of Hadrian’s visit to Britain and the building of the Wall. Together, the authors explore issues such as the impact of environmental changes on archaeology and the innovative technologies used in monitoring and managing the Wall and its collections. The book highlights not only the ways in which Hadrian’s Wall can be protected for future generations, but also the ways in which it affects the identities of those who work and travel along it. Rather than a retrospective of work undertaken so far, or an attempt to impose theoretical frameworks onto a living landscape, it offers a realistic discussion of current issues and solutions in the exploration, management and protection of Hadrian’s Wall, from the point of view of those living, visiting, researching and working along it.

‘The contents are impressive both for the breadth of subjects tackled and for the editors’ success in securing contributions from a series of key figures. Leafing through the volume lays bare how much thought and hard work goes into protecting Hadrian’s Wall and presenting its archaeology to the public.’ – Matthew Symonds (2022): Current Archaeology (issue 393)

'The collected papers help to illustrate the wide variety of ways in which researchers, curators, community members, re-enactors and artists are engaging with Britain’s most famous Roman monument. They also clearly illustrate the changing agenda for researching the Wall and some of the opportunities for further collaborative work.' – Richard Hingley (2023): Antiquity Vol. 97

‘Because Hadrian’s Wall spans so many different boundaries, it remains an excellent example of both the challenges and innovation in heritage management practice. So, this volume deserves an audience beyond those interested specifically in the subject matter. The contributions are clearly written and illustrated and report on work that is well conceived and well executed. The book itself is well produced and clearly laid out.’ – Sarah May (2024): Theoretical Roman Archaeology Journal 7(1)
