Thanks a lot for that Nephele. Luckily we've got a massive collection of national geographic magazines at home so I can look through them, but I might e-mail National Georgaphic as well to see if they can shed any light on the topic. Once again thanks a heap for the help.. any information is valuable on this subject!

Hey all, I'm new here and not sure whether this is the right place to put my query, so I apologise in advance if it's not. I am currently in my final year of school in Australia, and doing research on the significance of Italian archaeologist Giuseppe Maggi. I've found it exceedingly hard to find much information relating to him. From what I know, he discovered skeletons down by the beach at Herculaneum, effectively disproving the theory that everyone managed to escape after the eruption of Vesuvius. Unfortunately, my task isn't quite as simple as just knowing that. I just want to make it clear that in no way am I asking for assistance in actually completing/writing the task, as that would technically be cheating! I am just enquiring as to whether anyone knows some useful sources related to Giuseppe Maggi, whether they be journal articles, books, videos etc, anything to help me do my research that I may have overlooked. Thanks guys, and apologies again if this isn't in the right place.
