Vindolanda (Chesterholm) was destroyed and rebuilt at least nine times over its Roman occupation, with each rebuild creating the anaerobic conditions that preserved organic material — leather, wood, and the famous writing tablets that provide the most intimate surviving window into Roman military life.
