At Pompeii, a new excavation continues to unearth rich discoveries, while a pioneering new investigation finds evidence that some Pompeiians survived the eruption of AD 79.
The dig continues and the all-Italian team of archaeologists discover the remains of a horse harness. As they cannot find any remains of the horse, they wonder if it managed to escape Pompeii as the eruption began.
Professor Steven Tuck of Miami University s the team as he seeks to trace those who might have escaped the city and determine the number of people who lived in Pompeii.
