The city and its suburbs were buried under volcanic deposits. According to a long-held view, the entire site was supposedly \u00ab\u00a0frozen\u00a0\u00bb in its 1st-century state until its rediscovery during the modern era.<br><br>Both within the city and its surroundings\u2014including suburbs and <strong>necropoles<\/strong>\u2014numerous structures dedicated to <strong>craftsmanship<\/strong> and industry have been identified since studies of the site began.<br><br>Among these, several dozen <strong>bakeries<\/strong> have been progressively uncovered, all located within the city walls. They typically combine areas for <strong>grain milling<\/strong>\u2014characterized by the presence of mills powered by equids (donkeys or horses)\u2014with bread preparation areas and baking ovens. In this sense, the bakeries of Pompeii offer a primary source for understanding the operation of such structures during Antiquity, as well as their development.<br><br>However, this evidence is not always as \u00ab\u00a0complete\u00a0\u00bb as previously assumed. Current research has demonstrated that many of these bakeries were \u00ab\u00a0visited\u00a0\u00bb (salvaged) in the immediate aftermath of the eruption, with certain elements being recovered before the city was definitively abandoned.<br><br>Voici une proposition de traduction pour l&rsquo;historique des recherches sur les boulangeries de Pomp\u00e9i, en utilisant un style acad\u00e9mique adapt\u00e9 aux publications arch\u00e9ologiques.<br><br><strong>Research History<\/strong><br>Some of Pompeii&rsquo;s bakeries were studied and published at the time of their discovery, yet only a single comprehensive synthesis has been dedicated to them (Mayeske, 1972). In 2008, a new research program was launched, led by <strong>N. Monteix<\/strong> with the support of the <strong>\u00c9cole fran\u00e7aise de Rome<\/strong> and the <strong>Centre Jean-B\u00e9rard<\/strong>.<br><br>The ambition of this study is to better characterize the transition phase between a period when cereal consumption consisted primarily of porridge and flatbreads produced within individual households, and a period that saw the advent of <strong>commercial bakeries<\/strong> distributing their products across the entire city. In this regard, the exceptionally well-preserved site of Pompeii naturally offers a unique and privileged field of study.<br><br>To address these questions, the program focused on a precise study of each bakery in Pompeii. All structures underwent detailed <strong>architectural surveys<\/strong>; numerous <strong>archaeological soundings<\/strong> (test pits) were opened, and the masonry was meticulously analyzed. Additionally, a large number of samples were taken to fully characterize the operation of each space within these bakeries.<br>This ambitious undertaking required the collaboration of numerous individuals and organizations.<br><br>Mayeske B.J.<br>1972\u00a0:\u00a0<em>Bakeries, bakers and bread at Pompeii: a study in social and economic history<\/em>, Ph.D. thesis, University of Maryland, 252 p.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-wide\" style=\"margin-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--60);margin-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--60)\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\"><strong>Partenaires<\/strong> <br>Soprintendenza Speciale per i Beni Archeologici di Pompei, Ercolano, Stabiae<br>\u00c9cole Fran\u00e7aise de Rome<br>Minist\u00e8re des Affaires \u00e9trang\u00e8res et du d\u00e9veloppement International<br>Centre Jean B\u00e9rard<br>Universit\u00e9 de Rouen<br>Universit\u00e9 d\u2019Helsinki<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-theme-palette-11-color has-text-color has-link-color has-small-font-size wp-elements-7f84eade36000acfac8ae1a5155d8587\"><strong>Links<\/strong> :<br><a href=\"http:\/\/www.efrome.it\/la-recherche\/archeologie\/pistrina-pompei-italie.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">\u00c9cole Fran\u00e7aise de Rome<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-wide\" style=\"margin-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--60);margin-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--60)\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The excavation campagnes (by year)<\/h2>\n\n\n<ul style=\"padding-top:0;padding-bottom:0;padding-left:0;padding-right:0;\" class=\"wp-block-latest-posts__list is-grid columns-4 has-link-color wp-elements-6b35b98eab25a821f5dbe98aecd212d8 wp-block-latest-posts has-text-color has-theme-palette-12-color has-small-font-size\"><li><div class=\"wp-block-latest-posts__featured-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/eveha-international.com\/?p=4979&#038;lang=en\" aria-label=\"Pompeii &#8211; Pistrina &#8211; 2014\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"770\" height=\"485\" src=\"https:\/\/eveha-international.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Pistrina-2014-small.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" style=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/eveha-international.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Pistrina-2014-small.jpg 770w, https:\/\/eveha-international.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Pistrina-2014-small-300x189.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 770px) 100vw, 770px\" \/><\/a><\/div><a class=\"wp-block-latest-posts__post-title\" href=\"https:\/\/eveha-international.com\/?p=4979&#038;lang=en\">Pompeii &#8211; Pistrina &#8211; 2014<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A topographer of \u00c9veha International participates in a new study on bakeries of Pompeii.
