lazer ?, am it would be good to know the new technology and research,
there are some good points in the book "Secrets of Vesuvius", talks about timber in pompeii and the wrong and right colnclusions, about the basilica, the brothels, various projects, project of naples, etc.
Anyway i would to like to see some brief info on changing interpretations.
Prominent archeologists include fiorelli and amadeo, (19th and 20th century), that how they contributed to the future generations of archeologists.

I am not sure if you realise that Estelle Lazer did her Ph.D on the bones from Pompeii and concluded that those who died there represent a full cross-section of the population not the elderly, young and infirm as had been the theory for so long.
Wallace-Haddrill, at a lecture I attended last year in Rome, described her as the 'foremost expert on the bones of Pompeii'.
