Jul 31, 2017 by News Staff / Source
Archaeologists have found a collection of 1,900 year old ink documents at the Vindolanda Roman fort in Northumberland, northern England, one of the most exciting archaeological sites in Europe.
The Vindolanda writing tablets (letters, lists and personal correspondence) are wafer-thin pieces of wood, often less than 2 mm thick.
The 25 new documents were uncovered during the research excavation of a small area of the site and are likely to represent a part of an archive from a specific period.
