For the first two weeks in April I have been busy conducting a visitor survey the WHS at Herculaneum, a copy of the questionnaire used will be available on line soon for you to download, fill in and post back!

A 5% sample of visitors to site was survey each day over the Easter period. A summary of results will be compiled soon once all the data has been tabulated in my access database and reviewed.

One of the most interesting ‘extra’ comments made was from an American geology lecturer who pointed out that the site of Herculaneum isn’t really set within its natural context with the geological sequence, the stratigraphy of lava flows are obscured from view and are not presented to the public. Interesting point, what do you think?
