Join us (Rob & Kerry) and John Scott (Management Plan Co-ordinator) for a sharing session.

We want to know how you might like to get involved with activity beyond WallCAP, what support you might need and also to see which activities the Wall may benefit from over the coming months, following the recent consultations for the new Management Plan.

This is intended as an informal get together so please come along with ideas and we will have a good chin-wag about them all!

Exploring the Evidence for Christianity on the Late Roman Northern Frontier

Kerry Shaw — Fri, 05 Nov 2021 09:34:34 +0000

A talk to explore the evidence for the presence of Christianity in the military frontier zone of Roman Britain in the 4th & 5th centuries.

Drawing on historic finds and more recent discoveries from sites such as Binchester and Vindolanda, the extent to which the Christian church was established in the final century of Roman rule will be considered. Building on this, it will also try to understand the role of the Church in the ‘difficult’ 5th century as society north and south of Wall went through important social transformations.

Dr David Petts is Associate Professor of Archaeology in the Department of Archaeology, Durham University and a specialist in the archaeology of the early church in late Roman and early medieval Britain. Having excavated extensively at the Roman fort of Binchester he is now conducting fieldwork on Holy Island-Lindisfarne.
