Summary
Recent archaeological and paleobiological studies at UNESCO World Heritage Sites reveal new insights into Roman society and environmental interactions. At Pompeii, analyses of ceramics from Ca’ Foscari excavations and the forum excavations (1980-81) highlight advancements in ceramology and archaeometry, while an international project examines marine resource exploitation in the Vesuvian area. Meanwhile, excavations at Aquileia along the Natiso River provide interdisciplinary perspectives on Roman urban development. Additionally, a study of Verona’s Piazza Corrubbio necropolis integrates archaeological data with paleobiological approaches to reconstruct past societal structures. These findings offer a multifaceted understanding of Roman life and environmental dynamics across northern Italy.
