In 1999, additional work on carbonized doors and furniture was undertaken at Herculaneum with the permission of Conticello’s successor, Soprintendente Pietro Giovanni Guzzo. Shortly thereafter Francis Grew of the Museum of London graciously shared his office with me for a day, where I was able to study many Roman woodworking tools in near-pristine condition discovered in London. A highlight of a tour of collections in Britain in 1995 was an invitation to examine the Roman tools held in the Verulamium Museum, under the stewardship of the Keeper of Archaeology, Vivienne Holgate. The initial results of the fieldwork in Pompeii, Herculaneum, and Ostia were published in 1996 with the encouragement and support of Fred Kleiner, at that time editor of the American Journal of Archaeology. Similar access was granted to me by the Soprintendente of Ostia, Anna Gallina Zevi. In that same year I was permitted to study traces of wood in buildings from Pompeii and Herculaneum by the Soprintendente of Pompeii, Baldassare Conticello. My first study season in 1994 was immensely boosted with the kind permission of Stefano de Caro and his staff at the Museo Nazionale of Naples, which allowed me to examine iron and bronze tools from Pompeii stored at the museum. #NODUS 1.8.3 PROFESSIONAL#Over the past ten years I have benefited from many conversations with professional colleagues, museum curators, librarians, craftsmen, and students on the topics of ancient and modern woodworking.
