Opportunity for Volunteers |
|
| In the first five years of the Pompeii Food and Drink Project, volunteers measured, sketched, and photographed food- and drink-related features in kitchens and dining rooms, restaurants, stores, supply warehouses, vineyards, and farms. We are planning an exciting year for 2008, our seventh year of on-site research in Pompeii. What kinds of structures might you find? Perhaps you might visit a pastry shop where shell-shaped sweets were either sold over the counter or served in a room painted with trees, bushes, and flowers to give the patrons the illusion of being in a garden. Or you might observe that paintings of the goddess Vesta appear only in the homes and shops of bakers. Was she the patron deity of bakers? No special skills are needed for a volunteer. Our staff will teach you what you need to do. |
