FROM THE DIRECTOR’S REPORT FOR DECEMBER
"It scarcely seems possible that one half of our period in Cairo has gone by and that ere long we shall have to -be pay-ing visits to the shipping companies to enquire about sailings for home. That is a reminder that tomorrow we had better begin our rounds of leaving cards at Embassies and Institutions for the New Year. To you at home it seems a silly custom, but out here there Is still much of the □European tradition, and It makes for good relations if we observe such customs. December, like November, has been a month of phenomenal weather. Never do we remember a December of so many dull days or so many days of rain, not heavy rain but Just miserable drizzle, quite unlike Egypt we knew of old. January has begun better. It is cold but bright and cheerful and invigorating.

Since our last letter was sent to you, the Directorship of the Center has shifted from w. s. Smith to Arthur E. R. Boak, of the University of Michigan. Dr. Smith left Egypt in January, met Professor Boak In Rome, and acquainted him with the operations of the Center so that upon his arrival in Cairo, on February loth, he was well-prepared to carry on. A final report of the Centerا s activities under the aegis of Dr. Smith must wait upon his return to good health, as unfortunately soon after his arrival in the States he was hospitalized. As of this writing. Dr. Smith is making good progress toward recovery and I am sure that all members will join with me in wishing him a speedy return to good health. A report from Director Boak will form part of our next newsletter.

The summer was a hot and somnolent one in Egypt this year, and as usual, during the hot season, most archaeological activities ceased. An exception was made for the removal of three temples in the northern stretch of Lower Nubia, where the high water of the Aswan reservoir covers the monuments for the greater part of the year, only receding in the very hottest months of the summer. This year, in the baking heat that afflicts Upper Egypt and Nubia in the summer, engineers and work gangs of the Antiquities Department laboured for two months to dismantle and remove the small temples at Debud, Tafa, and Qertassi. These are all built-in masonry and are small enough so that the blocks can be numbered as removed, to be loaded on barges, and carried away for re-erection outside the zone to be flooded by the High Dam's reservoir. The work was done in good time, despite the torrid heat, and represents the first real step in the salvage problem with which the world's Egyptologists are so concerned.

The attention of members should be drawn to the new address of the Center given above. Need of increased space, due to the expanded activities and increased personnel of the Center, has necessitated the removal of headquarters from the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, which has so long and so generously provided space for our organization

Though this is the flrst notice to readers of the Newsletter, actually since May 1964 the Center has had a share in a project of first importance in the study of Ptolemaic Egypt and its trade relations with contemporary Mediterranean states. This project is the classification, and installation in the museum of Alexandria, of the most notable of all collections of stamped handles. Such handles are fragments of stamped commercial containers made of earthenware, and the stamps on the handles are control stamps, impressed before firing, current chiefly in the great period of the ancient port city of Alexandria, from the latter 4th to the last century B.C., and, within that period, sometimes very closely datable. The containers were largely made for the transport of wine, but certainly re-used in ancient Egypt for every sort of fluid or semi-fluid commodity, as we know from may mention in papyri.

From February 11th to 15th, 1967, the Group of Archaeologists and Landscaping Architects held its sixth session by visiting Abu Simbel. The Nubian campaign has been an elaborate network of committees, sub-committees, task forces, and delegations. For seven years I have been involved in one or another of these international groups. The consultative committee, which had general recommending responsibility for every phase of the Nubian campaign, held meetings in a Cairo hotel. It is much pleasanter to join the land-scaping group, which travels on a slow boat to the site of Abu Simbel, to advise on the "historical value and beauty" of the reconstructed temples.

On an archaeological excavation there is always the air of hopeful anticipation of an exciting discovery, In an enterprise such as the Epigraphic Survey has been conducting for more than forty years there is little expectation of finding hitherto unseen evidence, Most of the monuments we have been documenting have been known for generations, and scholars have made copies of what they consider important. Such records usually have been incomplete and have not always been accurate. Seldom have they given a full picture of the available information from a monument.
