People returned to live in Pompeii's ruins, archaeologists say

Archaeologists confirm people returned to live in Pompeii after the volcanic eruption. Evidence suggests survivors and new settlers inhabited the ruins of the ancient Roman city post-catastrophe. Pompeii, once home to over 20,000 people, was preserved by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in AD79 before being rediscovered in the 16th century. The new research supports previous speculations about residents' return to the site.
