Who is Giuseppe Fiorelli? He was the inspector of excavation at Pompeii in 1860, and is known as a pioneer of modern archaeology because of the methods that he introduced at Pompeii
How did Fiorelli number houses in Pompeii? He divided Pompeii into 9 regions (each containing up to 22 blocks [or INSULAE]) and numbered them with 3 numbers (according to its region, block, and entrance). This system made it easier for archaeologists to accurately record where objects were found
Describe the systematic excavation techniques that Firoelli introduced to archaeology. He removed debris from earlier excavations and approached new excavations according to a plan (rather than randomly searching for special objects). Fiorelli carefully uncovered each building within a block before moving onto the next block
