Vindolanda 2025 - Day Five

Brilliant sun to finish out the first week.  I've spent the whole time working on a side by side pair of infantry barracks rooms.  Can't say I've found much, just bits of pottery.  Oh, and I guess this:


Sometimes you find bits of iron totally rusted onto a floor surface.  I suspect this was the point of a knife....or an arrow head.  A proper arrow head was found a couple of rooms over.


This one was in a post Roman, aka Dark Ages context.  It's a design that has changed very little over a very long time.

Otherwise it was just cleaning floors.  2nd century floors,  3rd century floors....just bashed up floors in general.



Time for a weekend of diversions.  I'm not accustomed to working in bright sunshine and warmth.  Takes a bit out of ya.
