Saqqara Dig Diary
http://www.let.leidenuniv.nl/saqqara/homepage.htm
The University of Leiden's project in Saqqara has been captured again this year in the form of a dig diary at the above address. The team have been working at Saqqara since late January. Saqqara Online summarizes, in English, each of the previous week's work, giving a real sense of the way in which an excavation progresses, as well as giving an insight into some of the procedural and administrative aspects of working on a site in Egypt. The emphasis is on bringing the work to life through description, but there are some good photos as well. This website is well worth the visit.
As well as the dig diary, the site has details of the project, its objectives, the team members, previous seasons work, and Saqqara's history.
To find the Dig Diary, go to the "What's New" link in the left hand navigation bar.
