Archaeology

The Transbay Joint Powers Authority is pleased to host the Transbay Archaeology Exhibit, which will be on display in the lobby of 201 Mission Street through the end March 2012.

This exhibit will be on tour around the Bay Area. Stay tuned for upcoming locations.

As the construction of the Transbay Transit Center moves ahead, we are pleased to share with our project neighbors and Bay Area residents some of the amazing artifacts we have found along the way. This exhibit will feature a variety of items discovered within the footprint of the project site that illuminate the rich history of San Francisco’s gold rush era. Recovered artifacts show the way 19th Century residents of the South of Market neighborhood lived, worked and played, including industrial tools, household items and remnants of neighborhood businesses.
