Archaeologists have uncovered a well-preserved skeleton that they believe could shed light on funeral rites and cultural activity in Pompeii in the years leading up to the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD.
Pompeii was home to about 1,300 people when the volcano buried the Roman city in ash, freezing it in time.
The skeleton, believed to belong to a man in his 60’s, was found in a tomb dating to the final decades before the eruption.
Archaelogists are investigating whether the man might have been embalmed ahead of the burial.
