Egypt Exploration Society. Excavation Fund In 2008 the Society advertised for the first applications from its new Excavation Fund, which had been created by the generous donations of EES members. The Fund was to be used to support future EES fieldwork and award small grants to external projects where possible.

Preferences would be given to projects which fell within the Society’s current research strategy particularly those which brought novel approaches to clearly-defined research questions, and which demonstrate advance consideration of possible outputs. Since 2008 the Excavation Fund has allowed the EES to continue its important work by helping to support the The Delta Survey and The Survey of Memphis and has since expanded to include projects in Minufiyeh Governorate (Nile Delta), The Theban Harbours and Waterscapes Project (Luxor) and at the temple site of Tell Basta (modern Zagazig).

Tomb of Ny-ankh-Nefertem, Saqqara West J. Archaeological Fieldwork. The Met has been involved in the study of antiquity since its founding in 1870.

Today, we participate in active excavations at Dahshur, Lisht, and Malqata in Egypt; Tell Mozan and Umm el Marra in Syria; and at Palaikastro in eastern Crete and Amorium in Turkey. These activities are critical to understanding the cultures represented in the Museum's collections, and fundamental to the Met's role as an international institution. During the Middle Ages (ca. A.D. 650–1000), Amorium, in central Anatolia, was an important Byzantine city, which at its height in the early ninth century A.D. was the third largest in the Byzantine Empire, after Constantinople (Istanbul) and Thessalonica (Thessaloniki, Greece). Senwosret III's pyramid complex at Dahshur was first excavated between 1894 and 1895 by the French Egyptologist Jacques de Morgan. Tell Mozan, the ancient city of Urkesh, is located in northeastern Syria near the Turkish border.

The temple of Ptah - report 2009 (Chr. Thiers, P. Zignani) « CFEETK – Centre Franco-Égyptien d'Étude des Temples de Karnak – SCA / USR 3172 CNRS. The temple of Ptah - report 2009 (Chr. Thiers, P. Zignani) The main objective of this first campaign, which runs all year long, was to establish protocols for a whole survey of the temple, that is epigraphy, architecture, archaeology, photography and restoration. Important cleanings were necessary to start this project, involving consolidation of blocks associated with a first general assessment of needs in restoration-preservation. A heavy investment of time was necessary to evacuate the collapse of the retaining wall built modern north of the temple, against the wall of the domain of Amun-Ra.

Before undertaking any archaeological investigation, it was necessary to begin the epigraphic survey of the temple walls which provided the essential elements about the history of the monument. The research about the architecture of the temple was first focused on a detailed survey. The environment of the vast northern area of the temple of Amun at Karnak is little known.
