Archaeological sites in Naples

You know how sometimes you find really cool things buried in the sand or dirt when you're playing outside? Well, scientists do that too, but they call it archaeology. In Naples, Italy, there are ancient sites that people used to live in, like houses and buildings. Scientists go to these sites and carefully dig up the dirt to find things that people left behind a long, long time ago. They find things like pots, tools, and toys. These things help us learn about how people used to live and what they used to do. It's like looking at really old pictures, but with things that people actually used! Archaeological sites in Naples are like secret time capsules waiting to be discovered and studied by curious scientists.
