Introduction 2009 / Artifacts / Walls / Swim Tank

INTRODUCTION

The 2009 Gymnasium Dig on the Stanford University campus has concluded for the season.

Teams worked on tasks in the swim tank, on processing artifacts, and on uncovering walls and column bases and kept data records beyond belief!

This website documents some of the work that occurred in several areas of the ruin during the 2009 Dig season and offers a few glimpses into the 2008 season as well.

There will be a 2010 field season in January and February. It will be our fifth, and final dig season at the site.
