Studies on the Urban Complex of Ancient Pompeii

经意大利文化资产部批准，我们于1995年9月6日至12月15日在庞贝及其附近地区对这座城门进行了调查。调查内容如下：1.在搜索对象卡普瓦门已被超越的地区，我们继续挖掘，到达公元79年喷发形成的地层之下。为了确定城门的存在或更少，发掘面积从东向西和城墙两侧扩大了约80米宽。然而，城门的痕迹尚未确定。另一方面，九楼的建筑结构几乎完全曝光了，在它后面，发现了一个平原土丘，上面清楚地观察到了车辙的痕迹，并附着在上面，识别出一堵可能的房子的墙。城墙的结构不像一直被认为是正常的，这就成为我们要解决的课题之一。2.关于地层，我们主要关注的是哪一股浪头首先超过了城墙，3.通过在公元79年以下进行挖掘。许多遗迹，或人工或天然的骨头和贝壳，4.由于卡普瓦门上最古老的文件可以追溯到19世纪初，我们开始重新检查那不勒斯周围几个档案馆中保存的旧文件和地图等历史证据。5.为了加深我们的第二个目的，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，学者们最近显著地注意到了伊特鲁里亚人在庞贝的存在，我们检查了在庞贝和周围地区发现的材料遗骸。为了进行材料研究，额外的调查从2月22日进行到3月26日，所有遗骸的登记工作都完成了。

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.
