Last summer's discoveries at Vindolanda, the Roman settlement near Hadrian's Wall in Northumberland, turned a little-known archaeological site into a major tourist attraction.
George House reports on the discoveries-ranging from a size 11 boot (Roman soldier for the use of) to a perfectly-preserved 2,000-year-old stable fly-and talks to Robin Birley , of Excavations.
