As a geologist, potter and musician I am fascinated not only by the epic stories which geology can tell about our one and only earth but the connections between geology and many other subjects and the relationship between science and creativity. I trained as a research geologist at Oxford and Imperial College, investigating the sheet intrusion on the western peninsulas of the Isle of Mull volcano. This field and geochemical study lead to a better understanding of the mechanisms of crustal contamination in basaltic magmas.I returned to geology in 2006 setting up Northumbrian Earth to share my enthusiasm for Northumberland and the Borders running geo-walks, talking and writing about the Northumberland Coast, the Cheviots and much else. I worked for 2 years as the community geologist for the Lindisfarne Peregrini project and for 4 years as the Community Geologist with the WallCAP team.
The Hadrian’s Wall Community Archaeology Project (WallCAP) was funded by the National Lottery Her... more The Hadrian’s Wall Community Archaeology Project (WallCAP) was funded by the National Lottery Heritage Fund to promote the value of heritage – specifically of the Hadrian’s Wall World Heritage Site – to local communities and provide opportunities for volunteers to engage with the archaeology and conservation of the Wall to better ensure the future of the monument. This short book provides a summary of the project, communicating the range of activities undertaken during the project and key results. The structure and aims of the project and an overview of the many different people and communities that participated are explored. Archaeological fieldwork resulted in a number of new discoveries and insights into Hadrian’s Wall. Revolutionary new work to explore the stones of Hadrian’s Wall, its source geology and how stones were reused from the monument is also discussed. Each chapter is supported by full colour illustrations and contributions from project volunteers also bring the project into a vibrant focus.
