Every year thousands of tourists visit Pompeii, Italy. They see the sight that Pompeii is famous
for
—
its stadium
（运动场）
and theatres, its shops and restaurants. The tourists do not, however,
see Pompeii 蒺s people. They do not see them because Pompeii has no people. No one has lived in
Pompeii for almost 2000 years.
Once, Pompeii was a busy city of 22,000 people. It lay at the foot of Mount Vesuvius, a

its people were dead.

scientist named Ginseppe began to uncover Pompeii. Slowly, carefully, Ginseppe and his men dug.

houses and shops. There was a stadium with 20,000 seats. Perhaps the most important of all, there
were everyday objects, which tell us a great deal about the people who lived in Pompeii. Many
glasses and jars had some dark blue color in the bottom, so we know that the people of Pompeii
liked wine. They liked bread, too, metal bread pans were in every bakery
（面包店）
. In one bakery
there were 81 round, flat loaves of bread
—
a type of bread that is still sold in Italy today. Tiny
boxes filled with a dark, shiny powder tell us that women liked to wear eye-makeup.
Ginseppe has died, but his work continues. One-fourth has not been uncovered yet. Scien
