A man by the name of Giuseppe Fiorelli directed some of Pompeii's excavations from 1863-1875 whilst doing this he introduced an entirely new system for the project; instead of unearthing streets first, so to be able to excavate houses from the ground floor up. He imposed a system of uncovering houses from the top down. This is a better way of preserving things. He also developed the use of plaster casts to be able to recreate forms of plants and human bodies. Using his new methods he was able to unearth and preserve a lot of things that could not have been achieved otherwise.
Forelli used many excavations of Pompeii such as replacing right-left into top-down as it caused less damage.
