The process of removing ash and uncovering the ruins of Pompeii began shortly after the site was rediscovered in the mid-18th century and has continued in various phases ever since. Initial excavation efforts started in 1748, but it took many decades to clear significant portions of the site. The major clean-up and archaeological work spanned over a century, with ongoing restoration and preservation efforts still taking place today. Therefore, while initial removal took several decades, the full uncovering and study of Pompeii is an ongoing process that continues to this day.
