Vindolanda Tablets Online
Before coming to King's College London, Dr John Pearce worked as research assistant in the preparation of the third volume of writing tablets from the fort at Vindolanda, just south of Hadrian's Wall. In collaboration with colleagues at the Centre for the Study of Ancient Documents, he published a web edition of the tablets (http://vindolanda.csad.ox.ac.uk/) that also includes an introduction to the archaeological context of the site and to the uses of writing tablets at Vindolanda, as well as a pilot web edition of curse tablets from south-western Britain (http://curses.csad.ox.ac.uk/). This also provides extensive background on the curse tablet phenomenon and on the sites from which the curses published here derive.
