Cases with bodies of victims are on display in Macellum in Pompeii
In Macellum in Pompeii, three display cases were set up with plaster casts of the bodies of victims who died in 79 CE, as a result of the eruption of Mount Vesuvius. Macellum was an ancient market located in the central part of the city, next to the forum.
Further excavations began in Pompeii
In Pompeii, further excavations began in an area of 3,200 m2 in the area of Insula 10 Regio IX. From what I understand, the archaeological work is primarily aimed at securing the excavated walls and monuments that border directly on the still-buried section of the city. The pressure of the earth, pyroclastic material or flowing water has a bad effect on the excavated ruins.
