The American Excavations at Morgantina: Contrada Agnese Project (CAP), is an ongoing, multiyear research and excavation project launched in 2013 to investigate developments taking place in the urban center of Morgantina between the third and first centuries BCE. The project, funded largely by Princeton University, includes members from a large number of universities spread across the United States.
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. The success of the 2016 CAP season was due in no small part to the energy, creativity, and commitment of the exceptional group of 55 students and scholars, who joined the team from 24 universities and 5 countries.
