Ash Archive at Pompeii Archaeological Park

Pompeii & Daily Life Adventure Pack

Beneath layers of hardened ash, history is shifting.

Excavation maps are incomplete. Artifacts are disconnected from their records. Clues about daily life in ancient Pompeii are scattered across the timeline. Ari Raider has detected a disruption at Pompeii Archaeological Park, and if the archive is not restored, valuable evidence about how people once lived could fade from memory.

In Ash Archive at Pompeii Archaeological Park, students deploy the Digsite Drone Rover and enter a high-stakes archaeological mission. By investigating how a volcanic eruption changed the city, how ash preserved buildings and artwork, and how archaeologists study evidence today, explorers must reconstruct the story of daily life in ancient Rome.

This adventure blends natural science, archaeology, and historical inquiry with story-driven exploration.

• Ash – Fine volcanic material that can cover and preserve objects
• Ruins – The remains of buildings or structures from the past
• Artifact – An object made or used by people in history

• Daily Life – The everyday activities and routines of people
