Archaeology Blog from Johns Hopkins

Archaeology Blog from Johns Hopkins

As reported on January 15, 2005 at ResearchBuzz, archaeologists from Johns Hopkins University have set up a blog to follow up work and excavations in Egypt. The blog is named Hopkins in Egypt Today where it is written:

"The Supreme Council of Antiquities supervises all fieldwork research in Egypt and also monitors and preserves the ancient monuments. Dr. Zahi Hawass, the Secretary General of the Supreme Council, directs and helps to guide the mission of the organization. We are honored to work with the Supreme Council. This web site is an educational one that aims to provide the viewer with the elements of archaeological work that include the progress of excavation. The daily results are crucial to an understanding of how field investigation takes place, since decisions must be made on the basis of ongoing work. The people involved in the work are also an essential feature and contribute profoundly to the final outcomes. It is to those participants in the excavation that this web site is dedicated."
