guy Posted May 25, 2022 Report Share Posted May 25, 2022 The archaeologists have been expanding beyond Burnswark, studying LiDAR data (pictured) from the surrounding 579 square miles (1,500 km2) with the support of the British Academy Using LiDAR technology, archaeologists are better understanding the framework of indigenous peoples at the time of the Roman occupation north of Hadrian’s Wall. More than 130 new indigenous settlements have been discovered north of Hadrian's Wall from the time of Rome's occupation. Although part of the area had been extensively studied in the past, the team discovered 134 previously unrecorded Iron Age settlements in the region, bringing the total to over 700 https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-10849845/Over-130-new-indigenous-settlements-discovered-north-Hadrians-Wall.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guy Posted June 4, 2022 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2022 Here is another article about the research on the indigenous dwellings of the peoples beyond Hadrian’s Wall: “The new study initially focused specifically on Burnswark – home to the greatest concentration of Roman projectiles ever found in Britain, and a testament to the firepower of Rome’s legions. The research team went on to scour an area of 580 square miles beyond the hillfort, using the latest laser-scanning technology.” Although much of the area had been studied before, researchers found 134 previously unrecorded Iron Age settlements — bringing the total number known in the region to more than 700.” https://www.ed.ac.uk/news/2022/study-sheds-light-on-life-beyond-rome-s-frontier Here a few interesting video about the Burnswark Hillfort: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
