by A stock of “unusually large” shoes that were dug at a Roman location in northern England, archaeologists have left archaeologists in search of an explanation, they said AFP on Thursday.
In the past few months, eight big shoes, including a measurement of almost 13 inches – in Europe and size 15 in the USA – have been from the Vindolanda Charity Trust, which corresponds to size 49 in Europe and the size 15 in the USA.
“Eight shoes from Magna are now recorded as 30 cm or over in length, and this includes one that is the current record for the greatest shoe in the trust at 32.6 cm long,” said the Roman Army Museum and Fort in a press release.
The trust was founded in 1970 to dig up Roman remains in Vindolanda and Carvoran, save and share both part of the Hadrian Wall World Heritage location in northern England.
The shoes were discovered in a defensive trench, which was often used by the Romans as a dump in the Magna Roman in Northumberland.
Only a tiny part of the shoes in Vindolanda’s huge existing collection is of a similar size, while according to Rachel Frame, a high -ranking archaeologist in the project, around a quarter of those from the Magna location are located in this size area.
She called it “really unusual”.
“We are all trying to find out who may have been here,” Frame told AFP.
She added that they absolutely wanted to know that “which regiments in Magda would have been stationed” and why exactly “there are so many big shoes on this side compared to others”.
The team reported the first “exceptionally large shoe” on May 21 and has developed according to Vindolanda’s website since then.
“You need specific ground conditions with very low oxygen for organic objects from things such as wood, leather, textiles and such things to survive for this time,” said Frame.
She noticed that the team examined the history of the Roman Empire for answers and that people with different cultures and backgrounds would probably have been hit at the location.
“When people think of the Romans, they think about Italians, they sometimes forget how wide the empire was and how far it stretched,” said Frame.
A picture shows the remains of Vindolanda, a large Roman auxiliary festival -Fort -Fort -Mile south of Hadrian’s wall, which stood in front of the wall on January 19, 2022 by about 40 years near Hexham, north England.
A video published by The Trust shows the large selection of shoes on the website. The video shows Dr. Elizabeth Greene, Associate Professor at the University of Western Ontario, who has seen and measured every shoe in the Vindolanda collection.
“I think there is something completely different here at Magna, even if this small sample is discovered, it is clear that these shoes are much larger on average than most of the Vindolanda collection,” said Greene.
In a separate social media contribution on Thursday, the Trust said that archaeologists had also uncovered another old artifact -a boxwood comb.
“Magna is doing news with all our huge shoes this week, but they are not the only artifacts in the Fort Ditches,” says the post office. “A beautiful boxwood comb was discovered this morning.”
