Acknowledgements

For permission to conduct this field survey at Pompeii, I warmly thank Pier Giovanni Guzzo and Antonio d'Ambrosio of the Soprintendenza archeologica di Pompei, both of whom extended unbounded courtesy and assistance along the way. I also thank them and their staff for allowing me complete access to their library and photographic archive. None of this research would have been remotely possible without the generous financial support of a number of research and student scholarship committees. I am especially grateful to the following: the Italian government (for a research scholarship); the University of Sydney (for several Grants-In-Aid and postgraduate research scholarships - the W.C. Wentworth Travelling Fellowship, the James Kentley Memorial Scholarship, the Kath O'Neill Scholarship, and the Hellenic Club Research Scholarship in Classical Archaeology, and not least the committee of the Carlyle Greenwell Research Bequest). As much of this study is drawn from parts of my PhD research, begun in 2000 and completed at the University of Sydney in 2005, I would like to extend my appreciation to my supervisors, Penelope Allison and Edward Robinson. I also thank Penelope Allison and Eric Poehler for kindly filtering the article for the usual errors and inconsistencies. Of course any errors that made it into this final version are my own responsibility.
