How AI is helping save 2,000-year-old Roman relics in Northern England

Visiting Vindolanda Fort last year opened my eyes to appreciating Roman archaeology. Not least because their Museum has a whole gallery dedicated to wooden finds from the site and a great display about #dendrochronology Big thumbs up to @Vindolandatrust.bsky.social #RomanFortThursday #Archaeology

A large display case with over 20 different wooden artefacts excavated from Vindolanda including most obviously a wooden spade made from a single piece of wood. Photo copyright Coralie Mills 2024

Another display case in the Wood gallery at the Chesterholm Museum at Vindolanda - with many more wooden artefacts including parts of large wooden vessels, and several smaller utensils- with a beautiful backdrop of a Roman women illustrated on the rear wall of the case. Photo copyright Coralie Mills 2024.

The display board about dendrochronology showing four segments of timber with overlapping ring patterns demonstrating the principle of how a tree-ring chronology is constructed. Photo copyright Coralie Mills 2024.

Me standing in front of one of the displays about dendro-dating at Vindolanda - with a lovely disk tree-ring sample behind my head - looks a bit like a halo 😇. I’m not that good really 🤣. Photo copyright Gordon Turnbull 2024
