Vindolanda existed before Hadrian’s Wall was built and played a big role in its construction. The excavations, undertaken each summer, have uncovered stunning artefacts almost perfectly preserved without any decay.
Each year the excavations continue to uncover more information about the people of Vindolanda. Each year the history and story of the site becomes richer. It is estimated that it will take another 150 years of research before all of the secrets of Vindolanda have been revealed.
Andrew Birley, Director of Excavations, will lead a tour of the site and will talk more about discoveries highlighted in his recent talk. After the tour, a visit to the museum is highly recommended where many of the fascinating artefacts are on display.
The cost, which is £13, includes the tour and entrance to the site and museum. Attendees will need to make their own arrangements for travel and lunch.
