After The Dig
Archeology Laboratory Open House, from
June 20 to June 23, 2005, at The Presidio Archaeology Lab, located at 230 Gorgas St. in San Francisco's Presidio.
In 1992, NPS archaeologist Leo Barker identified El Polín Springs as a location where archaeological remains might be found. In 1997, Barbara Voss, then a graduate student at UC Berkeley, discovered archaeological deposits at El Polín Springs during a survey of the Tennessee Hollow Watershed.
Very often when people think of archaeology, they think about digging. But in truth this is just the tip of the iceberg. Pieces of the puzzle begin coming together, showing what life may have been like for the Briones family during the Spanish-colonial and Mexican era of the Presidio. Learn what the Stanford Research Team discovered and recovered from this site.
