Dig Diary - Temple of Mut
Brooklyn Museum
Many thanks to Mark Morgan for pointing me to the above pgae, where Brooklyn Museum's activities at the Temple of Mut in Luxor this season are described, accompanied by excellent photographs. The dig diary is in the format of a blog, so go to the end of the page to arrive at the first day of the new season, and click the (more) link under each post to see full details for that day. Very enjoyable. Here's a short extract from 15th February 2008:
This week we moved a couple of teams of workmen from the Taharqa Gate (where working space is getting a little constricted) to the excavations north of Mut’s 1st Pylon. We now have teams working both on the structures built against the pylon face and in the area bounded on the north by the remains of Temple A’s columned porch and on the west by the Mut Temple’s East Porch.
