Ten years after the close of the Second World War, excavations began at Morgantina in central Sicily under the auspices of Princeton University. American excavations at Morgantina continue with the contributions of many institutions and individuals. This site is intended to provide information about the site, our program of fieldwork and research, and developments on the site and our ongoing publication projects.
