Studies on the Urban Complex of Ancient Pompeii

在意大利文化资产部的许可下，我们今年的调查从1995年9月6日到12月15日在庞贝及其附近进行。本次调查的内容如下：1。在搜索对象即卡普阿城门已被超越的区域，我们继续挖掘到公元79年火山喷发形成的地层下面，为了确定城门是否存在，我们将挖掘区域从东到西和城墙两侧扩大了约80米宽。然而，大门的痕迹还没有被发现。另一方面，9号塔的建筑结构几乎完全暴露在阳光下，在它后面，一个平坦的土丘上，可以清楚地看到车辙的痕迹，附着在它上面的一堵墙可能是房子。城墙的结构不像人们认为的那样是正常的，那么它就成为我们要解决的问题之一。在地层学方面，我们主要关注的是哪一个浪涌首先超过了城墙。通过在公元79年的地下进行挖掘。已经发现了许多遗骸，或人工的或天然的，如骨头和贝壳。4 .由于卡普阿门最古老的文献可以追溯到19世纪初，我们开始重新研究保存在那不勒斯周围几个档案馆的古老文献和地图等历史证据。为了加深我们的第二个目的，即通过与伊特鲁里亚人有关的城墙下的地层调查来澄清城市基础的起源，伊特鲁里亚人最近在庞贝的存在引起了学者们的极大注意，我们检查了在庞贝及其周边地区发现的他们的材料遗骸。为了对材料研究进行起诉，从2月22日到3月26日进行了追加调查，并完成了所有遗骸的登记。

Under permission of the Ministry of Cultural Assets of Italy, our investigation of this yaer was executed from September 6th until December 15th of 1995 at Pompeii and in its vicinity.The contents of this investigation are as following :1.In the area where the searching object, namely the Gate of Capua has been surpassed to exist, we continued the excavation to reach beneath the strata formed by the eruption of 79 AD..In order to ascertain the existence or less of the gate, the excavated area was enlarged about 80m's wide from east to west and both sides of the city walls.Nevertheless, the traces of the gate are not identified yet.On the other hand, the architectural structure of the 9th Tower was brought almost completely to the light, and behind it, a plain mound on which the traces of ruts were clearly observed was found, and attaching to it, a wall of probable house was identified.The structure of city walls is not like what has been considered to be normal, then it becomes one of our subjects to resolve.2.As regards the stratigraphy, our main concern was focused on which surge surpassed at first the city walls, .3.By executing the excavation beneath the level of 79 AD.numerous remains, or artificial or natural like bone and shells, have been disclosed.4.As the oldest documents on the Gate of Capua go back in the early 19th Century, we started to re-examine the historical evidence like old documents and maps reserved in several archives around Naples.5.To deepen our second purpose to clarify the origins of the city foundation through the stratigraphical survey under the city walls in relation with the Etruscans, whose presence at Pompeii recently has been remarkably noticed by scholars, we examined thier material remains ever found in Pompeii and the surrounding areas.In order to prosecute the material studies, the additional investigation was executed from February 22th until March 26th, and the registration of all remains was finished.
