    The Evidence for Traffic (Data Tables)
    (2017-01-01) Poehler, Eric E.; Poehler, Eric; Poehler, Eric
    The file, "Evidence_for_Traffic_at_Pompeii", is a spreadsheet containing the description of 1024 curbstones, guard stones, and stepping-stones, upon which the evidence for ancient traffic at Pompeii were inscribed. These data underlie and support the tables, figures, and arguments of Poehler, Eric. E. 2017 The Traffic System of Pompeii. (New York: Oxford University Press) and should be used in consultation with that work. Using tabs in the spreadsheet, these data are combined as a single table (Traffic_Evidence_All) and also divided into each object type. Field names are intended to be both human readable and in formats ready for use in other software environments. Copies of these data in more sustainable formats, such as .csv and .txt, are appended as additional files, but include only the combined data table.

    HHpXRF study of recent zinc and lead pollution on lava stepping stones from Pompeii: Tourist footfall, tyre dust and leaded petrol
    (2020-01-01) Worthing, Michael; Bosworth, Lloyd; Papandrea, M.; Poehler, Eric E; Ellis, Steven; Laurence, Ray
    A helium‐enabled Niton X‐ray analyser (HHpXRF) study of 296 lava stepping stones from ancient Pompeii showed that their surfaces were contaminated with superficial deposits of Zn and Pb. Recent research has shown that concentrations of these elements are highest in urban areas, where they were attributed to tyre dust and leaded petrol, respectively. The distribution of these elements on the stepping stones is represented on maps of the site. Zn pollution is most abundant in areas visited by tourists and is attributed mostly to wear from their rubber‐soled footwear. Pb pollution is attributed to the movement of onsite vehicles using leaded petrol.
