Description
The Luxor Temple Block Fragments project was made possible with the funding provided by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) Grant No. 263-G-00-93-0089-00 (formerly 263-000-G-00-3089-00) and administered by the Egyptian Antiquities Project (EAP) of the American Research Center in Egypt (ARCE). A conservator can be seen poulticing a block fragment. The conservation efforts of this project were conducted and overseen by conservators John Stewart and Hiroko Kariya. Dr. Peter Dorman and Dr. W. Raymond Johnson of the Epigraphic Survey provided invaluable management and planning. Dr. Taha Abdallah of the Engineering Center for Archaeology and Environment at Cairo University conducted scientific analysis of stone samples. Photography was conducted by Kariya, Johnson, Yarko Kobylecky, Sue Lezon, and David Ray. This undertaking could not have succeeded without the support of the Egyptian Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities (formerly the Egyptian Supreme Council of Antiquities).
