We have finished our third dig; I had always wanted to excavate and wasn't allowed to read archaeology at university-to be fair, in those days there weren't the jobs in that 'field'.
Vindolanda is probably the site of 9+ Roman forts; it was built on the Stanegate (the supply road for Hadrian's Wall).
Vindolanda Museum and the Roman Army Museum have both been completely changed and updated; the latter has the 3D film, 'Eagle's Eye', (by Newcastle company Dene Films -Remember D3's television series with them all you Wayward Women?) which is excellent. We all thought the Army Museum was brilliant & both are so worth a visit.
Yes we found all sorts which others might not find as awesome as we did but even just shards of glass, pieces of bone and pottery are all dateable; who handled them before us? I can't tell you how exciting our finds were!
I keep telling H1 that July will be calmer- but will it?
