UCLA/RUG Fayoum Project
The desert north and east of Lake Qarun in the Fayoum is well known for its important archaeological remains, dating from prehistory to the Greco-Roman Period. The Fayoum Project combines survey, excavation, and geophysical and surface recording with the development of a landscape management plan, a type of cultural heritage management that perceives the landscape as an integral part of the human habitat and recognizes that an archaeological "site" exists in a natural and cultural context, which should be encompassed in preservation concerns.
