- This paper draws together research from Teesside and Durham Universities to examine the remains of Roman soldiers along Hadrian’s Wall. It was the first time this analytical approach had been applied to this context and that researchers were able to demonstrate how heat-induced changes in crystallinity can be combined with archaeological artefactual evidence to provide unique interpretations of past human funerary activities. This paper changed our approach to how we study people from the past and has formed the basis for subsequent applications by other research teams to archaeological contexts, including researchers in Italy and Portugal.
