Giuseppe Fiorelli was an archaeologist, who made major contributions to the study of Pompeii. He trained archaeologists in the layer by layer method of unearthing, thus preserving artifacts. He initiated a method of uncovering the houses of Pompeii from the top down to the street, minimizing any loss or further damage to the buildings. He is most famous for developing the plaster casts of the people, animals and plants that were covered in ash thereby giving us the lifelike features of the victims.
