Written by a stone mason and setter-out, a cathedral Clerk of Works and an independent stone consultant, this thesis is a well-researched and insightful study of all aspects of the construction of Hadrian's Wall. The introduction sets the scene with discussion of Rome's frontier policy and how walls such as this one fitted in, as well as the geology and landscape around Hadrian's Wall. What follows is a detailed study of the practical aspects and processes involved in building the walls, milecastles, turrets, forts, gateways amd ditches. Chapters examine archaeological and some textual evidence for the concept, design and survey of the wall, quarrying, working the stone, hoisting, mortar, scaffolding, transportation, building operations, and the organisation of work. In offering scenarios for these processes and procedures, Hill argues that there are many large gaps in our knowledge about the construction of the wall. However, he does present some important conclusions, for example, about the quality of workmanship, why subsequent rebuilding was necessary, the impact of quarrying on the local area, the rate at which the wall was built, the quantities of water required, the capacity of lifting gear, as well as new insights into the design and function of certain structural features. An excellent study.

Descrizione libro Soft cover. Condizione: New. XVI, 227 pages. Many scholars have examined the building of Hadrian's Wall from the viewpoints of the order of construction and the responsibility of each legion for particular structures and lengths of curtain wall. Others have examined the design of the Wall and its structural elements. This book is concerned largely with the practical aspects of the physical construction of the Wall. Its purpose is to examine all of the processes necessary to build the Wall, rather than simply the work of putting one stone on another. The line had to be surveyed and the infrastructure and support services had to be set up; the principal relevant operations included quarrying, stone dressing, and lime burning, with the subsidiary operations of sand and water supply, scaffolding, and transport. Each is treated separately before consideration of the techniques of actually building the Wall. The digging of the Vallum and the ditch is discussed, and the addition of the forts and other changes to the programme are included. Organisational aspects arising from the study, such as the hours of work, the potential labour force, and a theoretical rate of working are grouped together in a later chapter. The study is confined to the curtain wall and turrets, and the defences of the milecastles and forts, on Hadrian's Stone Wall, and so far as possible all examples of Roman techniques are taken from the Wall and its immediate locality.
