It has been really poignant and a privilege to witness firsthand the excavation of the room with the two newly discovered skeletons in #Pompeii and to follow the piecing together of the story of their tragic and violent deaths told through painstaking archaeological work. 
Fascinatingly the condition of this servile quarter of the house reveal the rooms were amid repair & redecoration—a pile of lime is ready to be used for mortar.
Toppled dishes & bowls may have fallen from a shelf and a cup embedded in the wall is possibly for religious offerings.

And, as many of you have already commented, my colleagues @pompeii_sites responsible for the excavations are extraordinarily talented and incredibly professional in their work and it is to them we owe our thanks for their painstaking and respectful work.
