Year 12 Ancient - Archaeology at Pompeii

Hi guys,

The final topic for Pompeii is on the archaeological issues associated with the site. Here are a few links that will extend on what we cover in class:

http://www.archaeology.org/interactive/pompeii/index.html - An online guide to archaeology, including some useful field notes and a tour of some insulae, by the Anglo-American project.

http://www.emsei.psu.edu/~hoaglund/Pompeii.html - Has a good high-res map of the site.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/history/ancient/romans/pompeii_rediscovery_02.shtml - BBC article about Giuseppe Fiorelli

http://www.bbc.co.uk/history/ancient/romans/daily_life_gallery.shtml - Gallery of artefacts associated with daily life

http://www.pompeiisites.org/ - The official Pompeii website, with some great satellite photos, and plenty of other info...not all of it in English, though.

For revision and maybe some fun...try this webquest (probably for a younger age group, but it will still help you): http://pangea.tec.selu.edu/~samacker/pompeiiwebquest.html
