Abstract
Abstract The history of systematic exploration in the area of the Porta Stabia spans over a century; therefore the project incorporated a detailed examination of the zone’s complex archival dataset. This chapter describes past work at the Porta Stabia; outlines the methods by which the archival team located, accessed, and studied the records of that work; and provides an analysis of the corpus of finds, inscriptions, and paintings uncovered in the earliest excavations. “Excavating the archive” allowed the team to incorporate what can be known of the neighborhood at the time of the eruption in 79 ce with the earlier phases uncovered in the course of the subsurface excavation.
