you are very right about that!
I was working a s avolunteer once in leiden, and due to municipal budget cuts they had a "back-order" in describing, documenting and preserving archaeological finds which styretched several! years back!
Unbelievable to see leather finds, wooden finds, etcetera being destroyed by time and bad preservation.......
I hate things like that!

Tarbicus,
The photos in the thread pointed out by Aitor are, in fact the same photos I have (that is probably where I got them). Mr Crispvs loves crisp clear photos, x-rays and line drawings. That's all (Mrs Crispvs, on the other hand, dislikes the stacks of paper her husband brings home and often threatens to throw the whole lot away).

Thanks Crispus. Hide the papers; I remember coming home from school one day and my folks had thrown all my comics. Little did they know I would have been £xx,000 better off now if they hadn't.

Mr CRISPvS... a Matrona has to abide several rules in the house of which one is not to meddle with affairs of state.
due to the fact everything relating to Rome can be judicially qualified as a matter of state, she is not allowed to throw any of your papers and photos and what not, away.
This is punisheable by several forms of corporal, or other punishments according to Roman Law.

Correct, one of the coins of gold was of the time Nerón, eleven years before the eruption of the Vesuvius.

Does someone know if they have tried to test the DNA of that soldier? The ability to extract DNA now from bones is substantially better than it used to be. Further more now with the mapping of all the subgroups on DNA it is remarkable how you can trace peoples ancestry and cultural background.
Would be interesting to know if he was Germanic in origin, or from the Italian Mainland.....

Also the possibilities today are better, it's still hard to get informations about organic material that was cooked in some hundreds of celsius and were burried under not well tempered ash...
By the way, the pliny text about his uncle is in his epistulae 6,16,20.
