Introduction / Artifacts / Walls / Swim Tank

INTRODUCTION

The Gymnasium Dig on the Stanford University campus has concluded.

Throughout the project, 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 a few dig seasons.
