During the excavation of Herculaneum, much of the volcanic mud and debris that buried the city was removed to uncover the ruins. This material was often discarded or used in other construction projects, as it was not initially recognized for its archaeological significance. Some of the excavated mud was also used to fill in the site or to stabilize structures as work progressed. However, the focus on clearing the site has led to a loss of valuable archaeological context.
