Pompeii

Plaster cast was poured in the holes in the ash created by bodies, and the result is realistic models of the people buried by the ash.
Herculaneum
The eruption of Vesuvius in 79AD buried this town in an airtight layer of solidified volcanic mud, unlike the volcanic ash of Pompeii which took a while to settle and become compressed. Excavations have revealed the ancient town, and have revealed facts such as diet, clothing and furniture.
