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.
