At the major Roman site of Vindolanda, just south of Hadrian's Wall in Northumberland, excavations have unearthed artefacts from nearly 2,000 years ago. Archaeologist Rose Ferraby visits the site and asks what can be learned about the people who lived here and the kind of lives they led. She hears about the 5,000 pairs of shoes that were left behind by the departing Romans, from marching boots to baby's bootees, with another 30-40,000 more pairs believed to still lie buried on the site - along with several tonnes of pottery, ceramics and animal bones
