Wooden Objects at the Edge of the Roman Empire - Dr Rob Sands

Dr Rob Sands from University College Dublin will introduce you to the extraordinary collection of wooden objects preserved in 1st and 2nd century contexts at the Roman fort of Vindolanda. This lecture is part of the online exhibition: Digging up memories - making connections. If you would like to take a look at our online digital exhibition before your visit you can see it here. It takes a look at what thoughts and memories are brought up by the artefacts we find. The project asked members of The Vindolanda Trust team to pick their favourite wooden object in the museum and tell us about the memories it brought back.
