Grant Dialog for Hatshepsut Mission!

Project of the Institute of Mediterranean and Oriental Cultures of the Polish Academy of Sciences and the Polish Center of Mediterranean Archaeology UW “Modern documentation in the research of the Polish-Egyptian Archaeological and Conservation Mission in the Temple of Hatshepsut at Deir el-Bahari (Egypt): creation, management, sharing” by Dr. Jadwiga Iwaszczuk was awarded a grant DIALOG by Ministry of Science and Higher Education.
The project, led by Dr. Jadwiga Iwaszczuk, is intended to complement mission’s documentation, to create a three-dimensional model of the Hatshepsut Temple for research and popularization purposes, and to create a database of all mission’s achievements. A modern tool for managing both the data acquired during the work and the work itself will be created. The database “Temple of Hatshepsut at Deir el-Bahari” will be the primary source of knowledge about this temple. It will allow to conduct detailed studies and verification of already published theories by foreign researchers for whom access to the documentation has been difficult so far due to the need to personal visit in the archives. In addition, the database will be helpful in responding to conservation needs and a place of cooperation and communication between members of the mission.
