Findings and Interpretations

Short of reading through the actual field notes taken in the course of the research, the reports prepared at the end of every summer's work provide the details of the discoveries made and the activities carried out. Since many sites were revisited, links have been inserted to allow you, if you wish, to follow the progress of work at these revisited sites over the years.

If instead you want to find out what sense the archaeologists made of their research, you can begin with the analyses. Links there will bring you to the field reports so you may see exactly what these analyses are based on.
