I was interested to read your own thoughts about the study. I found it to be an interesting one, and quite original. I am not aware of anything similar being attempted before, although if anyone knows differently I would be interested to know. The preservation at sites such as Herculaneum provides us with a fascinating snapshot of an instant of the past, something that is unusual for archaeological sites that usually have a longer - and less dramatic - end to their settlement. It also provides opportunities for integrated analysis that are perhaps lacking among other assemblages. Thanks for your comments. I was interested to read your own thoughts about the study.
