CAP2016: Director’s Report from the Field

2016 was the fourth season of the American Excavations at Morgantina: Contrada Agnese Project (CAP), sponsored by the Department of Art & Archaeology at Princeton University. Over eight weeks in June and July, the CAP team worked together under the brilliant Sicilian sun to excavate and study the material remains of a modest house of Hellenistic date that once occupied one residential lot at the western edge of the ancient city.

CAP 2014: Director’s Report from the Field

The American Excavations at Morgantina: Contrada Agnese Project (AEM: CAP) is a multi-year excavation and research project, sponsored by Princeton University. Our investigations focus on occupation at the far western edge of the ancient city in order to better understand the lives of those who dwelled on the margins of Hellenistic and Roman Morgantina.
