Permits Approved!

The Tell Edfu Project found out this weekend that in fact, after a two-week delay, that our permits have been approved and we will be excavating in Egypt! We have a lot to get done before that- in particular, purchasing tickets- but we should leave in a week or so.

What is the Tell Edfu Project? It's an archaeological expedition run out of the Oriental Institute, excavating the remains of the ancient Egyptian city of Edfu. It was occupied from Egypt's earliest times (c. 3000 BC) through to the 10th century AD. We'll be focusing on the Old and Middle Kingdom areas (c. 2700-1500 BC). I'll even have my own area to direct!
