The Other Pompeii - Life and Death in Herculaneum presented by Professor Andrew Wallace-Hadrill, Cambridge University

- Second story buildings are seen in Herculaneum (not in Pompeii)
- 79AD, Mount Vesuvius erupted, affected ancient and modern worlds.
- Both populations of the two cities did not know of the volcano's potential eruption.
- The ash set around the body, plaster of Paris injected into the voids, (voids formed from dead bodies), best possible method of conservation. Skeletal remains are destroyed in the process.
(Ethics of Display) - These are/were human beings, caught in their final moments. Is that ethical?

The ash and pumice preserved.

POMPEII ALWAYS SOUTH OF VESUVIUS.
HERCULANEUM IS NORTH-WEST VESUVIUS.

The ash was 4 times deeper in Herculaneum. Took only 24 hours to be covered. 25 metres of solid rock. Well preserved. Difficult to excavate.

The coast has been pushed 400 metres out to sea.
Vast sample of casts found together, out near the shore, in vaults. A majority were women and children, 340 skeletons recovered.
Close to 10% of the population found in Herculaneum were found in these vaults.

If there's a house, made of wood. Likely to come from Herculaneum.

Household shrines, contained household gods.

Colour was seen as extraordinary in the archaeologist's perspective. Chemical analysis allows for digital reconstructions (3D imaging) of artefacts that have lost colour.

Amphorae, big containers that contain wine, maybe marinated veg, used in shops to store.

Organic Material from the Sewer reveals 110 different food items, 46 different types of fish (anchovies, 3 different types of eels, sharks & rays), found in the sewage of Herculaneum, this is in working class/everyday people area.

Poorer people, had more protein in their diet.
