Nola-Croce del Papa
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Archaeologists found the lost settlement after discovering the bodies of two people that had been caught by pyroclastic flow as they were fleeing the eruption of Mount Vesuvius.[2] The eruption, which took place in the 2nd millennium BCE, covered the village in volcanic ash. The remains of livestock such as goats were found,[2] and various fossils were also found as mud had flowed into the structures and preserved various foodstuffs and plants.[3]
