Charred wood and Amphorae in a Herculanean Tavern Interior, in portrait mode. Herculaneum was buried in the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in AD 79. Unlike Pompeii, the volcanic material which covered the more affluent Herculaneum preserved wooden and other organic-based objects such as roofs, doors, and foods. Now a UNESCO heritage site, around 75% of the town is still buried.
