영국의 로마 유적지 발굴보존과 역사교육의 활용사례

Abstract

The Aim of this paper is two. One is to survey the archaeological studies of 'Roman Britain'. The Other is how it can be connected to improve the historical reasoning of British people for their Roman past. In this paper, for these two purposes Hadrian's Wall and Roman Bath was examined as a case study. Study of the Roman past of Britain was slow to emerge from the medieval traditions of British history. Throughout much of the sixteenth century a fierce and often acrimonious struggle continued between the beleaguered defenders of the medieval tradition and the lively proponents of Renaissance learning. Camden tried to reconstruct the province of Britannia within a Roman context. The collectors of the seventeenth century were obviously influencd by the activities of aristocratic figures in the Mediterranean world. The early decades of the eighteenth century saw the most significant advances in knowledge of Roman Britain, which were to place the study of the province upon a new and more secure footing. The northern frontiers of Roman Britain formed an early focus of interest for antiquarians. Hodgson appears to have been the first to consider the frontier works as a whole and to construct a frontier system. Bruce's major works provided a basis for further work on the frontier. Bath be the first Roman site to be commented on after the end of Roman rule. The rebuilding of central Bath from the mid-eighteenth century began to reveal the kind of bulidings and sculptures which educated the most fashionable place of resort in England. In this paper, I considered how processes such as excavaton, conservation and history education functioned for the study of Roman Britain. For this, two cases of Hadrian Wall and Roman Bath examined and compared.
