Vindolanda tent find: March 21 on Twitter
#1
Surprised by this one in a French announcement. Apparently broke on Twitter on the 21st.

Is it supposed to be part of a tent?

Why not an awning?

A cart cover?

I really dislike sensationalist archaeological finds reporting...

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, Merlot in one hand, Cigar in the other; body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming "WOO HOO, what a ride!

It was a Twitter tweet rather than the usual Vindolanda announcement. I don't know why they haven't done an official post.

Because they find stuff all the time! Pete Savin, who has been digging there (and is a photographer), was there when it was found. Stuff gets tweeted from Vindolanda a lot when people are digging there. That's why Twitter is so useful ;-)

You know my method. It is founded upon the observance of trifles

Blogging, tweeting, and mapping Hadrian\'s Wall... because it\'s there
