Pliny the Younger
Archaeologists did not find anything after Pliny the Younger. Pliny the Younger only described the eruption of Mount Vesuvius when it happened in 79. Pompeii was first discovered in 1599 during works to divert a local river, but the uncovered areas were covered again. Pompeii was rediscovered again in 1748 and the first archaeological excavations started in 1764.
Pliny the Younger's Uncle, Pliny the Elder, died during the eruption while attempting to rescue stranded victims. As Admiral of the fleet, Pliny the Elder had ordered the ships of the Imperial Navy stationed at Misenum to cross the bay to assist evacuation attempts. He perished with the others in Pompeii.
Written accounts, specifically Pliny the Younger
Pliny the Younger was a survivor from the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in AD 79. He wrote a diary about the event because he saw the eruption across the bay from Naples and he wasn't in Pompeii while it was happening. He is how we know about the burial of Pompeii.
