Hanfmann Excavates

George M.A. Hanfmann, professor of Fine Arts, will lead a party of fourteen in futher excavation efforts at Sardis, Turkey. Hanfmann's group made an exceptional find last year when they discovered a potter's workshop dating from the time of the Lydian kings.

The efforts this year will be directed at the exploration of the archaic city of the Lydians of the time of Croesus, excavation of an early Christian residence that has yielded bronzes of considerable interest and of two Roman structures.
