THE BERKELEY MAP OF THE THEBAN NECROPOLIS: REPORT OF THE FIFTH SEASON, 1982
:
No area of the world contains as many famous and important archaeological monuments as the West Bank at Luxor. Yet, in spite of the centuries-old interest in such features as the Valley of the Kings, the Tombs of the Nobles, and scores of other monuments, there exists no accurate or complete map of the Theban Necropolis. Fewer than ten percent of its monuments have ever been mapped and planned, and very few of these have been plotted accurately.
This project seeks to establish a survey network over the Theban Necropolis; to prepare a suitable detailed 1:500 archaeological map with 1:200 AMD 1:100 plans and sections of significant archaeological features; to publish these maps and plans, together with more detailed records of measurements, in an accurate and permanent form, and to accompany these graphic aids with a concordance and catalog of West Bank archaeological materials.
