Friends and colleagues: Every year, archaeologists from around the world
reveal more about the fascinating ancient city of Pompeii.  The
Anglo-American Project in Pompeii, the latest video featured on our public
education website, The Archaeology Channel (www.archaeologychannel.org),
describes the fieldwork and results of the 2002 season by the research team
after which the video is named.

Pompeii is well known for its rich archaeological record sealed by volcanic
deposits in A.D. 79.  But what was the history of the city and its
inhabitants before this date?  The Anglo-American Project in Pompeii (AAPP),
sponsored by the University of Bradford in England, is answering this
question through scholarly research and at the same time is training future
archaeologists and historians in the latest scientific field techniques.
This video introduces the viewer to Pompeii and the goals of the AAPP by
telling the story of  the 2002 field excavation focusing on the details of
one city block.

This and other programs are available on TAC for your use and enjoyment.  If
you feel that this project is a worthy endeavor, please participate in our
Membership (http://www.archaeologychannel.org/member.html) and Underwriting
(http://www.archaeologychannel.org/sponsor.html) programs.  Only with your
help can we continue and enhance this nonprofit public-education and
visitor-supported service.  We also welcome new content partners as we reach
out to the world community.

Please forward this message to others who may be interested and let us know
