Carpenter’s Tools Found In A Room In A Villa In Pompeii - Italy

Carpenter’s tools have been discovered in a Roman Villa of the servile neighborhood of Civita Giuliana in the suburb of the ancient city of Pompeii, Italy in May 2024. The room contains a bed, as well as work tools and what appears to be a frame, perhaps of another bed, disassembled: baskets, a long rope, pieces of wood, and a saw with a blade, which does not seem very different from traditional saws used until recently, are also recognized. Even a piece of rope has been identified as an imprint in the ground, which kept it under tension. The room was exceptionally well-preserved and it was possible to make casts of furniture and other objects made of perishable materials: wood, fabrics, ropes. The technique of making casts, systematically experimented with since 1863 with the creation of the first casts of the victims of the eruption of Vesuvius in 79 AD, is unique in the world as it is the result of the specific dynamics of the catastrophic event: people or objects dragged and covered by the ‘pyroclastic fl
