AW 1: Investigate the Wall and its corridor through aerial and geophysical survey, other remote sensing techniques and excavation to detect further evidence for both the line of the Wall and its component parts (especially where these are not visible), to establish the relationships between the Wall and its associated structures.
AW 2: Review evidence for the planning of the Wall, including its physical setting, variations in the stone base, the earth and turf building materials, and the location of the Distance Stones.
AW 3: Establish the character of the interior of military structures, and analyse the location of finds within them to determine the nature of their use and their history of occupation and abandonment.
AW 7: Explore the development and use of the Antonine Wall in relation to other frontiers across time and space, including its relevance to modern conflict and frontier studies.
AW 8: Seek evidence for indigenous settlement in and around the Wall corridor and explore its relationship with Roman military sites, including through artefact studies.
AW 9: Make better use of museum collections and spatial analysis to explore the contribution of artefacts to understanding the nature of the occupation and social life on the Wall.
AW 12: Use the range of scientific techniques to establish the nature of the environmental conditions along the Wall corridor and address issues such as vegetation, material sourcing and adaptation, food production and river navigability.
AW 16: Encourage the collation and publication of geophysical surveys and small-scale investigations along the line of the Wall, including backlogged projects.
AW 17: Audit and make more accessible relevant museum collections and locate missing items; update and digitise the dataset of Roman objects from non-Roman contexts and make the information more readily accessible.
AW 18: Ensure there are adequate development management provisions in place along the line of the Wall and the WH property to ensure the continued protection of the resource, and seek to ensure that any interventions are undertaken with specialist advice and with adequate resources.
AW 19: Actively promote the Wall as a research priority and encourage the appointment of Roman specialists in the university and museum sectors in Scotland.
AW 20: Develop the FRE: Antonine Wall WH property as an exemplar of good practice in conservation, education and wider community benefit, and international collaboration.
AW 21: Explore and support the ways in which the Wall/WH can play a role in community life today, including through public engagement, locally based projects and community initiatives.
AW 23: Undertake coordinated research online and offline to identify and contextualise the contemporary intangible values of the Wall, by drawing on heritage studies and public archaeology approaches, so as to better understand the significance of the Wall for different publics.
AW 24: Recognise and exploit the potential of digital heritage research and online fields of investigation to study the contemporary values of the Wall for international, as well as local, publics.
AW 25: Establish popular online environments, outside of HES-driven engagement projects, as central rather than peripheral to the remit of research on people’s perceptions and experience of the Wall and of the FRE more generally.
