The Combs - Digging Up Memories

Nits were a problem for the Vindolanda population as they lived in close quarters. Many people, especially teachers and parents, will relate to the problem of lice and recognise the tools the Romans used to control them. Dawn tells us why she finds the combs fascinating.
As part of the wood digitisation project, we asked members of the Vindolanda team what memories their favourite object from the wooden collection brought up for them. Find out more about the project and the exhibition at www.vindolanda.com/digging-up-memories
