Hierakonpolis Interactive Dig updated

Archaeology Magazine

Thanks to Archaeology magazine's e-Update for the news that the Hierakonpolis Interactive Dig has been updated on Archaeology's website.

It was a long, unseasonably hot and occasionally stressful season, but one filled with many and often unexpected discoveries at Hierakonpolis as we continued to explore the cemetery of the elite members of Predynastic and Early Dynastic society at HK6, returned to the Predynastic temple at HK29A, kept on fixing the Second Dynasty Fort, and much more. Although all of these areas were like old friends to us by now, this year it was a very humbling voyage of discovery, as nothing turned out as anticipated. The only thing of which we can now be sure is that this old site still has plenty of secrets hidden below its sands and ones that are determined both to confound and amaze.

See the above page for full details.
