Summary (Italian)

  • In the summer of 2013, the Pompeii Quadriporticus Project (Universities of Massachusetts at Amherst and Cincinnati) conducted its fourth and final season of fieldwork. The focus of our activities was on in-field documentation of archival resources, the exploration of various spectrometric methodologies for identifying mortar types, and the use of metrology for identifying construction ‘signatures’ in the various development stages of the Quadriporticus. It is now possible to reconstruct the original form of the Quadriporticus and to chart its development over time – in relative and absolute terms – as well as to know something of its place in the infrastructural history of Pompeii. The project is now moving towards the more complete preparation and publication of the data and of our analysis of it in a final volume.

    The PQP is co-directed by Dr. Eric Poehler (University of Massachusetts-Amherst) and Dr. Steven Ellis (University of Cincinnati). Our work is generously funded by a University of Massachusetts-Amherst Faculty Reseach Grant / Healey Endowment Grant, the UMass Department of Classics, the Five Colleges, Inc., by the Louise Taft Semple Fund of the Department of Classics at the University of Cincinnati and by a gift from Cardinal Intellectual Property.
