An impeccably preserved building site has been found in Pompeii

Excavations were carried out in a previously unexplored area IX. The house by which the construction site was located may have belonged to a baker. Building materials were found in the atrium, which was partially filled in, and clay vessels in which plaster was mixed were preserved in the house sanctuary. Lead ploughs and hoes were also found.

Modern scholars are vividly interested in the empire’s construction techniques, as their buildings are so strong and durable that many have survived to this day.
