Description: Pompeii is the most famous archaeological site in the world, and arguably where the modern discipline of archaeology began. Excavations here began over 250 years ago, and discoveries are still being made, both as the result of excavation AND because of the ongoing reassessment of previously discovered material. The Oxford Handbook to Pompeii and Environs contains 37 chapters written by international scholars that discuss important topics concerning Pompeii and the nearby archaeological sites of Herculaneum, Stabiae, Boscoreale and others.
