One thing that isn't clear to me is if this town was at least partially rebuilt and repopulated afterwards.
I asked this because I read some strange and interesting theories about Pompeii not being ancient actually being an Italian town that went through the Middle Ages and Renaissance and was destroyed in the 17th century.
The town itself appeared on maps of those centuries and was even mentioned on epitaphs of that era.
Materials like window glass seemed like they were from the 17th century, also.

Herculaneum was much worse off than Pompeii.

From what I studied in ancient history, the people didn't die by the ash that came down on them which sealed them in their state of death instantly. The people at Herculaneum were boiled alive due to the hot tary mud surrounding the locations of houses where people went inside to seek refuge. The bones that have been found at Herculaneum shows that they died in extreme pain, some of them in positions holding each other in fear. Second unlike Pompeii which is made of more loose rock for excavation. Herculaneum is covered with hot mud which has become solid overtime, it's much harder to excavate those ruins and I wouldn't be surprised today if they've stopped excavating.
