- Haynes directed this five-year project, oversaw production of the volume and incorporation of material recovered from the site since the nineteenth century. He provides a comprehensive outline of the research structure and project organisation, and historiography of the Maryport altars. The latter is of fundamental importance as it demonstrates one of the best-known altar groups in the Roman world has been widely used to support a misinterpretation of Roman cult practice for >80 years. Haynes also produced the site discussion chapter, the definitive reinterpretation of the entire cult complex of Maryport, and the site’s afterlife.
