Dig at Italy's Pompeii volcanic site yields 5 skeletons

The house where they were found has revealed a string of discoveries in recent weeks - from stunning murals to an inscription that revealed the eruption was earlier than thought. The remains of five people, probably two women and three children, were found in a during excavations in Pompeii, Italy, 24 October 2018.
