Ok.

I've read the 2006 mini excavation report....


just exactly what was the purpose of the huge timbers recovered from the excavations....

Gateposts.??..granary supports ??


come on Andy et al... what's the latest thinking on this one


Chris

I thought for a moment that you meant that the final part had been posted on WWW.vindolanda.com under excavation news - sadly, not true. :(

Chris,

Current thinking....possible granaries or another type of storage facility. We will have to wait until we get more of the building this year. Of course, you can get a copy of the main report..out by the end of May that will tell you everything we know up to this time.

Nic,

Sorry mate, the website is in for re-development this summer, and as such is a little fallow at the moment. We have had some staffing and admin issues since the birth of my Daughter, ie, Barbara is on Maternity leave and not due back until June. We just don't have the cover at the moment and are trying to do a great deal to get the new season ready (which starts in two weeks time). The next 5 years of research needs to be sorted out by a new SMC, and the report is in its final editing stage as well. Nothing but excuses I know, but they are at least all real ones. I am still described as the assistant director of excavations on the website, now there is a real injustice!

:)

put my name down for one please..

lI'll hand over the cash when I am up in April/May

Chris

Still assistant director? That's borderline criminal negligence! In fact, I propose a new title: Andreas Optimus Maximus. There's been enough IOMs found on the Wall; time for an AOM.
