This spring and summer I have been in the process of moving the primary home of my archaeological project at Amheida in Egypt from Columbia to NYU. We will have the largest student group for the 2009 season that we have ever had and look forward to a successful season. The project’s Web site can be found at www.amheida.org. At the same time, we have been engaged in planning a major site management and presentation project there, which includes building a replica of a late antique house and reproduction of its spectacular wall paintings. The funding will come from the American Research Center in Egypt, The Dutch Ambassador’s Cultural Fund (Cairo), and the Leon Levy Foundation, for a total of over $200,000.
