What a completely fasinating study.
The only similar thing I’ve read about in the past had to do with the Temple of Isis — the temple treasury was hurriedly put in bags, and a group of temple employees (or whatever you wanna call ‘em) left the place and tried to run out of the city searching for safety. One by one they succumbed and were buried where they fell, covered with ash, leaving only their 3-d forms in the hardened strata, to be found centuries later by archaeologists — still clutching their parts of the treasury.
