"Experts said there was also an indication that the Roman occupants may have worn socks"
What a surprise! On a more serious note, where were the fibre impressions? Were they on a nail point originally flattened or rounded on a last or did the original owner suffer from extremely sore foot soles most of the time? Alternatively, if they are on the bottom of the hobnail, what other evidence suggests that they may be related to socks?
Are there any other interesting things you can tell about the finds at this stage?
