The House of the Surgeon represents the first major publication of
an important series of excavations undertaken by the Anglo-American
Project in Pompeii (1994-2006) at the ancient city of Pompeii in a
city block known as Insula VI 1. This is one of the largest, most
comprehensive, and most important sub-surface, pre-79 AD
excavations ever to have been undertaken at Pompeii. The
methodology employed to the systematic examination of an entire
city block, involving extensive artefact and ecofact recovery,
using the latest scientific methods, has generated one of the
single largest bodies of archaeological data ever produced on the
development of ancient Pompeii, from the earliest traces of human
habitation until its destruction. The first major section of this
data is now made available in form of a study of the most famous
and prominent of the houses on the block. The Casa del Chirurgo
(House of the Surgeon) has been one of the most frequently cited
houses in the ancient city since its discovery in 1771. The results
of the exhaustive study of the house within its urban context not
only challenge many of the conclusions of previous research, but
also make it possible at last for this important property to
contribute information to the full history of Pompeii's urban
development, illuminating the chronology of urban change, the
processes involved in ancient domestic construction, aspects of the
ancient environment, and changing socio-political and economic
conditions within Italy throughout the middle to late Republic and
early Empire.
