An piece about Sarah Parcak's work using modern technologies to locate new sites, particuarly in the Delta: "Her discovery of 100 new sites in Egypt, some dating as far back as 3000 B.C., certainly is nothing to sniff at. But Parcak, a teacher of Egyptian art and history at the University of Wales-Swansea in Wales, has no intention of resting on her laurels anytime soon.Last month, she began a large-scale project using three-dimensional satellite imaging to locate unknown sites in the Egyptian Delta of the Nile River. . . . Her work in the Egyptian Delta over the next few months will consist of being part of a team of 14 people, including students from the university. She hopes to find cemeteries, villages and ancient cities at sites that range from 15 to 30 kilometers in size, she said."
