“By combining new technology with more traditional methods, we can describe Pompeii in greater detail and more accurately than was previously possible,” said co-author Dr. Nicolo Dell’Unto, a digital archaeologist at Lund University.
Among other things, the archaeologists uncovered floor surfaces from 79 CE, performed detailed studies of the building development through history, cleaned and documented three large wealthy estates, a tavern, a laundry, a bakery and several gardens.
In one garden, they discovered that some of the taps to a stunning fountain were on at the time of eruption — the water was still gushing when the rain of ash and pumice fell over Pompeii. They occasionally also found completely untouched layers.
In a shop were three, amazingly enough, intact windows — made out of translucent crystalline gypsum — from Ancient Rome, stacked against each other.

A couple of couches and a table. I want a whole complete house with everything including dishes, shoes, candles, etc.
Was he the guy who threw his slave alive into a pond of carnivorous eels because he broke a glass?
“The big question is where did they put their Do,do? Usually they threw it out the window into the back alley. This made for some pretty smelly cities.”
You got them confused with San Francisco, and with Puerto Rico (although just temporary in PR).
