Our very own glaze technician, Gina has
been off on another adventure! She's currently in Pompeii working
for and archaeological research project called Porta Stavia and is
run by the University of Cincinnati. Many of the artifacts they're
digging up are ceramic remnants of amphora, cookware, and higher-end
table ware. They dug up so much they spent at least one afternoon
dedicated to scrubbing the pottery; that is a lot of pottery. They
even uncovered a kiln making it the third kiln ever found in Pompeii!
Isn't that exciting?
They still have a bit more excavating
to do, then writing the final report and we'll have Gina back. I'm
totally jealous; it sounds like she's had a good time. Here's to a
great time in Pompeii and a safe trip home!
