- Additional information
- This work has transformed our understanding of the events following the famous Vesuvius eruption of 79AD by showing that previous understandings of what occurred were incorrect. Our team had rare access to material which had never been studied in this analytical way before. We provided a new interpretation of events at Herculaneum which was then featured in numerous publications, including the New York Times, Washington Post, National Geographic and the New Yorker.
