| Summary: | The extensive excavations (1995-2006) by the Anglo-American Project in Pompeii provided a rare insight into chronological change within the city.

The analysis of all the recovered seeds, fruits and cereal remains provided an opportunity to undertake a diachronic study of urban Roman plant food consumption and discards, the results of which are discussed here. |
