BBC Two - Pompeii: The New Dig, Series 1, Escape

An excavation in Pompeii unearths new rich finds, and the search is on for survivors.

At Pompeii, a new excavation continues to unearth rich discoveries, while a pioneering new investigation finds evidence that some Pompeiians survived the eruption of AD 79.

The dig continues and the all-Italian team of archaeologists discover the remains of a horse harness. As they cannot find any remains of the horse, they wonder if it managed to escape Pompeii as the eruption began. 

Professor Steven Tuck of Miami University joins the team as he seeks to trace those who might have escaped the city and determine the number of people who lived in Pompeii.
