Pompei. L'Insula Occidetalis. Indagini e riletture

The archaeological investigations carried out in Pompeii belong to a cooperation agreement between the Archaeological Park of Pompeii and the University of Naples Federico II. The research programme focuses on a sector of the so-called Insula Occidentalis, close to the Herculaneum Gate. The project aims to recompose, first of all, the dossier of archival sources related to the Bourbon excavations. The “archaeology of the buried “and the “archaeology of built” characterise the analysis of the almost completely unpublished buildings. We present, on this occasion, the first results of research in the Casa del Leone (VI 17, ins. occ., 23-25) and the Hospitium of Albinus (VI 17 ins. occ., 1-4). The analysis of the Hospitium allowed to recognize an interesting building plan and highlight several interpretation’s issue.
