The Archaeological Investigation in Pompeii

这项考古调查于1990年11月至12月在意大利庞贝遗址进行，主要有两个目的：庞贝、它的城市化和作为城市的功能。为了阐明城市主义，调查集中在Via Stabia的东部地区，该地区贯穿城市的子午线，即所谓的“新城”。关于这一地区的城市化，学者们有几种假设。根据我们的研究结果，在人行道周围的边缘测量岛，我们可以清楚地看到，在这个地区，岛是考虑到地理特征而形成的。简而言之，在高原上形成了矩形岛，而在斜坡上发现了平行四边形岛。梯形岛是这两种类型之间的结合形式，位于高原斜坡的尽头。测量数据被输入计算机，以便对测量标准进行分析。同时，根据沿路施工的先后顺序，对沿路石的种类和标准进行了记录和分析。为了接近城市功能的研究，我们注意到路面上留下的车轮车辙。据了解，当时大车的轮距标准为140厘米左右。由于许多道路太窄，不能让迎面而来的车辆通行，所以一定有一些交通方向的规定。我们通过调查，观察车辙的方向和形状，以及它们与人行道或踏脚石的关系，在一些道路上，马车的路线是清楚的。这些事实将被整合为庞贝城的交通系统。

This archaeological investigation at the site of Pompeii, Italy, which was made from Nov. through Dec. in 1990, focused on two purposes : Pompeii, its urbanism and functions as a city.In order to elucidate the urbanism, the investigation is concentrated on the eastward district of Via Stabia, which runs through meridionally the city, the district so-called "new city". Concerning the urbanism of this district, there are several hypotheses among the scholars. As the result of our research, surveying the Insulae at the edge of the sidewalks surrounding them, we could make clear that in this district the Insulae were formed considering the geographical feature. To be brief, the rectangular-shaped Insulae are formed on the plateau, while the parallelogram-shaped Insulae are found on the slope. The trapezoid-shaped Insulae, the conjunctional form between the two types, is found just at the end of the slope to the plateau. The measurement data were inputted into the computer in order to analyze the standard for the survey.In the meantime the edging stones were recorded and analyzed by their sorts and the standard to follow the sequence of the construction of roads.For the research to approach the urban functions, we took notice of the wheel ruts left on the pavements. It is already known that the wheel span of a carts at that time had a standard of some 140cm. Since many roads are too narrow to allow the on-coming traffic, there must have been some regulations on the direction of traffic. By our investigation, observing the directions and the shapes of the ruts and their relation to the sidewalks or stepping-stones, the courses of the carts were made clear on some roads. These facts would be integrated as the traffic system all over the city of Pompeii.
