  1. Changing Methods and Contributions 1860-1960

  2. Early “excavations” • 1599 Dominic Fontana • 1733 King of Naples Charles Bourbon (Herculaneum) • 1748 King of Naples Charles Bourbon (Pompeii) • 1760’s first “real” excavations led by Karl Webber, Fransciso La Vega and Charles Saliceti • Joint projects completed by French, Spanish and Italian experts.

  3. Fiorelli Appointed Superintendent of the P and H and Director of the Naples Museum. Instituted a series of sweeping reforms Extreme organisation Focus on Pompeii Expanded excavations AND re examined previously uncovered sections Basically set the tone for excavation of this site, his successors followed his plans

  4. Spinazzola Continued careful excavation started by Fiorelli and his successors Even more banal focus: streetscapes and architecture The beginning of a conservation focus, although there are criticisms Affected by Fascism, retired in 1922

  5. Maiuri Responsible for “Modern Pompeii” Most prolific archaeologist Site ceased operation during WWII Huge amounts of P cleared Suffered with lack of funds Beginnings of P&H as a modern tourist attraction May have been heavily influenced by Mussolini’s fascist agendas

  6. Changing Methods Read through 170-179 and take note of • When each archaeologist carried out their work • What aspects of the site did they focus on? • What methods did they use to excavate, conserve or examine P&H? • What contribution did they make to the excavation of P&H and our understanding of the site?
