Pompeii Cast Project: Estelle Lazer Lecture

Chifley College Senior Campus is excited to host a free public lecture for students, parents and the general public in our community about life and death in Pompeii. Dr Estelle Lazer will discuss her new research on the victims of the Mt Vesuvian eruption in 79AD. New technologies, including X-Rays and CT scanning, have allowed Dr Lazer and her team to analyse the human remains encased in the famous plaster casts. This lecture will provide information about what science can tell us about how these people lived and how they died.

Dr Lazer is an archaeologist with an international reputation, and this talk will provide an update on the project, and the new information that has been revealed.

There will be complimentary tea and coffee provided on the night. Contact Dianne Harper at CCSC for further information. Please arrive at 5.15 for a 5.30 start.
