Darius takes you into the trenches to explore the ongoing excavation of Insula 10 in Region IX of Pompeii. It's a unique tour of the excavation, recent discoveries, and a look at ongoing conservation work that takes place on site. This is a special access look at the work in Pompeii in 2024 that underlines the site's commitment to preservation and thorough documentation of a limited excavation, which will eventually be opened to the public.
Darius thanks site director Gabriele Zutriegel and @PompeiiSites staff for the invitation and the exceptional visit on January 16, 2024.
