Prehistoric, as well as pieces of historic art, has (at times) been elusive to specific date labels mostly because people did not date or sign their work.

In order to know when a specific sculpture, painting, or work of architecture was created, the historian must look at from where the artifact originated. Was it used across the Aegean? Or mainly in Crete? Archeology is an

The Pompeian excavations of both the 19th and 20th centuries offer different archaeological methods and techniques that were used to uncover information regarding Pompeii. Francesco La Vega and Karl Webber were amongst the first people who set up the foundations for archaeologists to come including Giuseppe Fiorelli and Vittorio Spinazzol.

survival is that the art is in the walls! When people discovered that the Frescoes were unharmed, they were shocked!

(Bucur, 2006) Wood mainly absorbs low frequencies, which partially come from mechanical noise and have longer reverberation time; hence it reduces reverberation time and brightens the timber of music. Plaster can be bent into various shapes and thus increasing sound reflection; hence audible music at every corner. In addition, thick plaster supports the strong bass sound.

The process was given the name ‘investment’ because of the solid mould process that involves a plaster type material that is poured or ‘invested’ into a container that holds small plastic patterns which happens to be a replica of the casting being produced. After the plaster type material sets, the pattern will be burnt out leaving a hollow cavity where the metal will be poured. The process is also called ‘lost wax casting’ which is
