The AAPP is run by the University of Bradford in Britain. They train future archaeologists in a field school environment. They have project in Pompeii where they are no longer cleaning new areas of the debris but where they are looking into areas that have already been exposed in order to preserve and record what is there. They work in collaboration with the Italian archaeological authorities and the Soprintendenza-Archeologica di Pompei. These students are using new technology to be able to gain insights into what life was like in Pompeii prior to its destruction by Mount Vesuvius.
Part of this groups goal is to preserve the ancient city so that many others can visit and learn more about the ancient city of Pompeii. By preserving what they are able to uncover, it will give people a better understanding of what happened in A.D.79 as they are able to see the ruins in their natural place of being.
