http://touregypt.net/teblog/luxornews/?p=475
Thanks as usual to Jane Akshar for making her Mummification Museum notes available. This time her notes are from Dr Sally Ann Ashton's lecture on the North Karnak Survey project, of which the following is an extract:
"This survey has been conducted over 2 years and is in the general are of the Montu temple. The site was first excavated in 1949 when the gateway of Hatshepsut was discovered. The aim of this survey was threefold
• Investigate the chronology
• Function of the site
• Recording techniques
Firstly they did a contour survey using satellite technology; this was needed in order to record the site properly for the magnetometer work. They discovered more in the West than the North. After one year on checking the various features and objects they discovered little change apart from on column base that had been moved up near the police hut.
