This book has three main aims: to make more widely available the data from the numerous geophysical surveys that have been undertaken at sites on the Antonine Wall over the last 20 years; to re-analyse this data and provide more focused interpretations; and to offer some wider archaeological and geophysical conclusions.

Bibliography
Until his retirement, W.S. (Bill) Hanson was Professor of Roman Archaeology at the University of Glasgow, where he specialised in the study of Roman Scotland, Roman frontiers and airborne archaeological remote sensing. He is co-author of one of the standard textbooks on the Antonine Wall, and co-editor of the most recently published examination of its remains.
Until his retirement, Dr Richard Jones was a Senior Lecturer in the School of Humanities at the University of Glasgow, where he specialised in archaeological science, particularly terrestrial remote sensing and ceramic analysis. He has undertaken numerous geophysical surveys along the Antonine Wall and elsewhere in Scotland.
Dr Nick Hannon is Heritage Research Manager in the Heritage Directorate of Historic Environment Scotland, where he currently leads their geophysical survey programme. He has undertaken several geophysical surveys along the Antonine Wall and he analysed the LiDAR survey of the Wall for his PhD.
