Tunisia Archaeology |
| The Byrsa quarter of Carthage, recently discovered by French archaeologists, dates from the time of Hannibal and gives an idea of urban life in the early second century BC. When the Romans returned to rebuild Carthage they covered over the ruins of the 146 BC construction on Byrsa Hill with thick layers of rubble and earth thus preserving the whole site. More.

Pompeii, Italy – The Blast From the Past |
Paul: Yesterday we took an incredible ride on the circumvesuviana – the tongue twisting train that connects the region, and comes equipped with a flux capacitor. After traveling for thirty minutes (and passing an endless stream of dilapidated Neapolitan suburbs) we arrived two thousand years back in time at Pompeii. History buffs will remember that Pompeii was a sizeable Roman town that was unfortunately located at the base of the volcano Vesuvius. On August 24, 79 AD, Mount Vesuvius erupted, burying Pompeii beneath thirty feet of volcanic ash. 1,700 years later, Pompeii was rediscovered, proving to be an archeological find that would have left Indiana Jones speechless (but not Short Round – he would have said something funny).

Caisto Dig Day 26 and 27 |
Welcome blog watchers to what will be the final instalment of the 2009 dig diary. Such was the excitement of finishing and packing up that the writing of the blog got sadly delayed, so this last episode will attempt to be a bumper finale with pictures and all sorts. Day 26 was the last official day of excavation. We were deluged with visitors with the final count standing at more than 3,600 over the course of the project.
