项目摘要

Hadrian's Wall is one of our most evocative and powerful ancient monuments and the most famous frontier system (materially and culturally) of the Roman Empire. Its international significance is secured by a long tradition of scholarly study and its designation as a World Heritage Site. Since the late C16, the Wall has provided a major focus for antiquarians and archeologists, with surveys and excavations providing respected and authoritative knowledge of its structure and chronology. But understanding the sequence of its construction and use is only one chapter in this monument's biography.During the C18, the Wall became a tourist attraction and its popularity continues to grow, providing a significant locus for visitors from the IK and overseas. Like all monuments, the Wall promotes contradictory readings, including ideas of permanence and decay, domination and resistance, stability and mobility. How has this cultural prominence developed through time? How do various individuals and groups, including visitors, locals and scholars, view it? How do the ideas and beliefs of these individuals and constituencies differ?We offer an exploration of the significance of the Wall and its landscapes as both monument and icon from the time of Bede (C8) to today. What role has it played in ideas about the origins of 'civilisation' and the identities of self (English, British) and others (Scots, colonial subjects, etc)? How has its monumentality shaped the work of scholars and the experiences of locals and visitors? How have understandings shifted as the physical experience of the Wall has changed from north-south (in the past) to east-west (in the present)?The project draws upon histories, handbooks, maps, excavation reports, novels, poems, works of art, photographs, museum displays and websites to explore how understandings have developed. The methodology assesses divergent individual and group claims, including: scholars, local people and foreign visitors. Assessment of the impact of the Wall upon people draws upon approaches to other linear sites (including Roman roads & the Great Wall of China). Through an evaluation of ideas about the linearity and permeability of the monument, the project addresses the historical context within which the Wall has been interpreted, publicized, visited and displayed. It focuses upon:- The Wall's use as a symbol of the national boundary of England, defining a barrier against the Scots;- As a monument to an iconic and ancestral empire, symbolic of imperial might and order - a physical and moral metaphor for the imperial frontiers of Britain's Empire;- Counter arguments relating to the Wall as an indication of the ancestral valour of the ancient populations of Scotland and their successful resistance to Rome/England;- The contribution of archeological works - surveys, excavations & publications - to these national and imperial projects through the creation of sanctioned interpretations;- Recent ideas that counter the national and imperial myths, relating to the divergent cultures of the Roman military units who served on it, to visitors from other provinces and to the evidence for the indigenous population living close-by.The project will develop a number of outputs with varied benefits, including:- A detailed case study in the critical assessment of a major ancient monument, to compliment work undertaken elsewhere (Stonehenge, Seahenge);- An advanced methodology for assessing linear monuments/landscapes, a topic not explored in detail in archeological and landscape studies;- A case study contributing to the development of a critical Roman archaeology which deals with the complexity of past and present interpretations (R. Hingley 2005 Globalising Roman Culture);- A website, exhibition, lectures and publications to communicate the results in an acces

哈德良长城是我们最令人回味和最强大的古代纪念碑之一，也是罗马帝国最著名的边境系统（物质和文化）。它的国际意义是由长期的学术研究传统和它被指定为世界遗产。自16世纪末以来，长城一直是古物学家和考古学家关注的焦点，通过调查和挖掘，人们对长城的结构和年代有了尊重和权威的了解。但了解它的建造和使用顺序只是这座纪念碑传记的一个章节。在C18期间，长城成为一个旅游景点，其受欢迎程度继续增长，为来自英国和海外的游客提供了一个重要的场所。像所有的纪念碑一样，柏林墙促进了矛盾的解读，包括永恒和衰败、统治和抵抗、稳定和流动的观念。这种突出的文化是如何随着时间发展的？不同的个人和团体，包括游客、当地人和学者，如何看待它？这些个人和选民的想法和信仰有何不同？从比德（公元8年）时代到今天，我们将探索长城及其景观作为纪念碑和标志的意义。它在关于“文明”起源和自我（英格兰人、英国人）和他人（苏格兰人、殖民地臣民等）身份认同的观念中扮演了什么角色？它的纪念性如何影响了学者的工作以及当地人和游客的经历？随着柏林墙的实际体验从南北（过去）转变为东西（现在），人们的理解发生了怎样的变化？该项目利用历史、手册、地图、挖掘报告、小说、诗歌、艺术作品、照片、博物馆展览和网站来探索人们对历史的理解是如何发展的。该方法评估了不同的个人和团体的主张，包括：学者、当地人和外国游客。长城对人类影响的评估借鉴了其他线性遗址（包括罗马道路和中国长城）的方法。通过对纪念碑的线性和渗透性的评估，该项目解决了长城被解释、宣传、参观和展示的历史背景。它的重点是：-长城作为英格兰国家边界的象征，定义了对抗苏格兰人的屏障；-作为一个标志性的祖先帝国的纪念碑，象征着帝国的力量和秩序-对大英帝国帝国边界的物理和道德隐喻；-有关长城的反驳论点，认为它表明了苏格兰古代居民的祖传英勇和他们对罗马/英格兰的成功抵抗；-考古工作- -调查、发掘和出版- -通过创造经批准的解释对这些国家和帝国项目的贡献；-反对民族和帝国神话的最新想法，这些神话涉及在其上服役的罗马军事单位的不同文化，来自其他省份的游客以及居住在附近的土著居民的证据。该项目将产生一些具有不同效益的产出，包括：-对一个主要古代纪念碑进行详细的案例研究，以补充其他地方开展的工作（巨石阵、海石阵）；-评估线性古迹/景观的先进方法，这是考古和景观研究中未详细探讨的课题；-一个案例研究，有助于批判性罗马考古学的发展，处理过去和现在解释的复杂性（R. Hingley， 2005年全球化罗马文化）；-一个网站，展览，讲座和出版物，以交流的结果在一个访问
