University of Southampton work at Herculaneum

The University of Southampton has just highlighted the work of its archaeology department at Herculaneum on its homepage (www.southampton.ac.uk) with various links for further information. Their work includes a team who are "virtually" reconstructing a statue head (along with the University of Warwick), and another team who have carried out geophysics - all in collaboration with the Herculaneum Conservation Project, and of course, thanks to access and permission granted by the Soprintendenza.
