Stratigrafia dei depositi vulcanici affioranti nel Suburbio occidentale

The excavations that have been carried out for over two centuries in the Pompeii area have removed much of the volcanic ash that had buried it following the Vesuvian eruption of 79 AD. Within the scope of this project it has been possible to reconstruct the pyroclastic sequence that emerged discordantly on the terraced buildings that follow the western slope of the Pompeii area. Wall bricks are embedded in the volcanic deposits and testify to the impact of the eruption on the Pompeian houses
