This project, directed by Holly Pittman (History of Art), is currently engaged with the final publication of six seasons of excavation at the Sumerian capital of Lagash undertaken by Donald P. Hansen at the Institute of Fine Arts. This publication project has developed a fully platform for data analysis and is currently integrating with the Ur project to develop a regional database which will integrate archaeological, archival, artefactual, and remote sensing data streams. The project is currently proposing to resume excavation at the site in 2018 in conjunction with European collaborators working at Girsu and Ningin.
