Archäologie und Seismologie

Published by the German Archaeological Institute DAI in Rome (Deutsches Archäologische Institut.

The earthquake in the year 62 A.D. is considered to be one of the few certain chronological facts in the history of the Vesuvius region. Repeated finds from the last few years seem to indicate one or more further earthquakes before the eruption of Vesuvius in 79 A.D. This perception is very interesting both for archaeology, for which the previous picture is considerably altered, and also for modern seismology. For this reason, during the convention held in Boscoreale in November 1993 an attempt was made to establish connections between the latest research results from both disciplines through interdisciplinary and controversial exchanges of opinion.

»Archäologie und Seismologie, 80 years after Lanciani’s pioneering work, opens a new path in the study of the evolution of ancient buildings and sites in seismically and volcanoligically active environements.« AJA 100
