The Swedish Pompeii Project started in 2000 as a fieldwork project initiated at the Swedish Institute in Rome. The aim was to record and analyse an entire Pompeian city-block, Insula V 1. In the recording process large quantities of data and photographs have been amassed and this is the forum we have chosen to share the collected information with those interested in the details of Pompeian houses. The presentation of each room with all its features constitutes a major part of this research platform, under the heading Insula V 1.
Some excavation took place in spots critical for the understanding of earlier phases of the city. In the course of such investigations, prehistoric (Early Bronze Age/Palma Campania) layers, including a volcanic ash layer, were encountered for the first time in Pompeii.
Created to encompass all major disciplines promoted by the Swedish Institute in Rome, our research also targets a wider contextualisation of the Pompeian evidence. Pompeii Revived is the title used to shelter studies in legacy.
Since autumn 2010 the project and its research is directed from the Department of Archaeology and Ancient History at Lund University.
Simultaneously a new branch of advanced digital archaeology, involving 3D reconstructions and documentation methods was added to the project agenda. The insula was scanned during the field campaigns in 2011 and 2012 in collaboration with the ISTI (Istituto di Scienza e Tecnologie dell’Informazione "A. Faedo"), Pisa, and the Humanities Lab at Lund University. After achieving a presentation of the 3D models on the web, using 3Dhop software, the colleagues at the ISTI elaborated tools to navigate the models in order to obtain more detail (zoom) and better image performance (light setting) as well as different kinds of supplementary information (measuring, sectioning). The models presented with these tools are linked to the documentation found under the heading Insula V 1.
