Archaeological Treasures Unearthed Near Pompeii’s Eastern Edge
Archaeologists working near the famous Roman ruins of Pompeii have made a series of remarkable discoveries, offering new insights into the area’s pre-Roman history. The findings, revealed during construction works for an underground car park, paint a vivid picture of life and death in ancient Italy.
A Necropolis Frozen in Time
The excavations uncovered a fascinating necropolis containing 35 pre-Roman earthen pit burials. Each grave was meticulously covered with amphorae, arranged in an alternating neck and tip formation. Dating from the 3rd to 1st century BC, these amphorae bear makers’ marks in the Punic language, suggesting North African origins and hinting at far-reaching trade connections.
Preserved Remains and Precious Artifacts
Thanks to the anaerobic conditions created by groundwater, the skeletal remains in the necropolis are exceptionally well-preserved. Alongside the bodies, archaeologists found funerary objects including unguentarians (small ceramic bottles) and coins, offering glimpses into ancient burial practices.
