Panoramic view of Herculaneum

Herculaneum became famous as the source of the first Roman skeletal and physical remains available for study that were located by science, for the Romans almost universally cremated their dead. Since the discovery of bones in 1981, some 300 skeletons have been found, most along the sea shore - the town itself having been effectively evacuated.
