The scale of processing associated with the dyeing industry in
Pompeii is a controversial subject. To determine the scale of
manufacturing would allow an understanding of the operation of
Pompeii's economy and its part in the Roman World. Previous studies
have taken a theoretical approach, and no conclusive answer has
been reached. Conversely, Investigations into the Dyeing Industry
in Pompeii uses a new multi-disciplinary triangulated approach. A
replica was constructed to gauge the operating parameters of a
dyeing apparatus within the framework of the principles of
experimental archaeology. The remains were re-examined in situ with
the new operational and ergonomics understanding. The replica was
amended to allow exploration of design features and ventilation.
The throughput of the apparatus was placed within the context of
the industry with modern manufacturing systems theory. Computer
simulation was used to explore the long-term mechanical effects of
the dyeing process on the materials used in the construction of the
original apparatus and to determine if 'ratcheting' failure was due
to creep. These combined methods have given an understanding of the
significance of the industry that is grounded in engineering and
archaeological principles but within the context of Pompeii.
