Nola-Croce del Papa was an early Bronze Age village discovered in May 2001 in the Campania region near Nola, Italy. The excavation was directed by French archaeologist Claude Albore Livadie, who described the settlement as the "first Pompeii".
Archaeologists found the lost settlement after discovering the bodies of two people that been caught by pyroclastic flow as they were fleeing the eruption of Mount Vesuvius. The eruption, which took place in the 2nd millennium BCE, covered the village in volcanic ash. The remains of livestock such as goats were found, and various fossils were also found as mud had flowed into the structures and preserved various foodstuffs and plants.
