Why these videos don't have more views is beyond me. I enjoy them immensely. They are a breath of fresh air from the graphics heavy, info light presentations of other 'history' channels.
How do we know that the women's and children's shoes are definitive signs of "occupation"? Vindolanda appears, to my soldier's eyes, to be something of a regional supply depot. Based on the number of shoes found thus far how do we rule out the possibility that some of the "barracks rooms" were not converted to leather cutting rooms or perhaps used for dual purpose as is quite common at military camps? Can we rule out the possibility that one of the prefects at Vindolanda was in the shoe business, perhaps as part of an attempt to "Romanize" the forts Area of Operations?
