Composite plan of the fort remains that Curle uncovered (drawn by Lorraine McEwan, after Curle 1911: plan facing p. 38) The Roman fort of Trimontium is renowned internationally thanks to the work of James Curle (1862-1944) who led the excavations of 1905-1910. This volume brings together key sets of his correspondence which cast fresh light on the intellectual networks of the early 20th century, when professional archaeology was still in its infancy.
