| Summary: | Ten years ago the Center issued a statement saying: "It is hoped and anticipated that, like the American Schools at Athens, Rome, and Jerusalem, the Center may be able...to sponsor and conduct excavations in Egypt. Such excavations would be purely scientific in purpose, intended chiefly to augment the world’s knowledge of Egyptian antiquity and to provide a practical ’laboratory’ in which to train future generations of archaeologists, architects, epigraphers, and copyists. Since excavation is meaningless without prompt and adequate publication of the results, each season’s work should be published in full-year by year; and it is regarded as essential that, before a program of excavation is entered upon, provisions shall be completed for the production of such annual publications.11 |
