Porta Nola Necropolis is a three-year-long archaeological and anthropological project in Pompeii with collaboration of British School at Rome (BSR), IlustreColegioOficial de Doctores y LicenciadosenLetras y Ciencias de Valencia y Castellon (CDL) and Museu de Prehistoria de Valencia (MPV) with support of Soprintendenza Speciale Beni Archeologici Pompei, Ercolano e Stabia. The objectives of the project are to excavate, re-study, evaluate, date and document the structures in the necropolis, conserve the tombs as this is the top priority of the authorities of Pompeii, examine the burials and casts and present the project to the public via different media. Part of the project is a field school, where methodology of excavation, finds processing, and preservation are introduced to the students. It is a follow-up project to the previous archaeological researches from the 1920s and the mid-1970s and is aimed to understand better not only the area itself but also the people who were buried in the necropolis and the ones who died here during the eruption in 79 AD.
