Resurrecting Pompeii provides an in-depth study of a unique site
from antiquity with information about a population who all died
from the same known cause within a short period of time.
Pompeii has been continuously excavated and studied since 1748.
Early scholars working in Pompeii and other sites associated with
the AD 79 eruption of Mount Vesuvius were seduced by the wealth of
artefacts and wall paintings yielded by the site. This meant that
the less visually attractive evidence, such as human skeletal
remains, were largely ignored.
Recognizing the important contribution of the human skeletal
evidence to the archaeology of Pompeii, Resurrecting Pompeii
remedies that misdemeanour, and provides students of archaeology
and history with an essential resource in the study of this
fascinating historical event.
