Item AMERICAN CONTRIBUTIONS TO EGYPTIAN ARCHAEOLOGY(American Research Center in Egypt, 2006) Ikram, Salima; Kamrin, Janice; Saunders, Shari; Scott, Gerry D.

Van IIIItem The American Research Center in Egypt : Annual Report 1996(American Research Center in Egypt, 1996)Item The American Research Center in Egypt : Annual Report 2001(American Research Center in Egypt, 2001)Item The American Research Center in Egypt, Inc. : Annual Report Fiscal Year 1997(American Research Center in Egypt, 1997)Item THE BERKELEY MAP OF THE THEBAN NECROPOLIS: REPORT OF THE FIFTH SEASON, 1982(American Research Center in Egypt, 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.Item THE BERKELEY MAP OF THE THEBAN NECROPOLIS: REPORT OF THE FOURTH SEASON, 1981(American Research Center in Egypt, 1981)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 suitably detailed 1:500 archaeological map with 1:250 and 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. Such a project as this will provide a useful tool for Egyptologists, but it also will play a significant role in the preparation of long-range plans for the protection and preservation of the rapidly-deteriorating monuments at Thebes. During the first season of the project, the grid network was established on the West Bank and several tombs in the Valley of the Kings were planned.Item THE BERKELEY MAP OF THE THEBAN NECROPOLIS: REPORT OF THE THIRD SEASON, 1980(American Research Center in Egypt, 1980)sheets were produced for us by Princeton Polychrome and the University of California Press and are available upon request for examination.) The sample map sheet was an important step in the preparation of the full map sets, for it helped point out several unsuspected problem areas. The scale at which the Berkeley Theban maps are to be published and the type of material they must contain make them unique cartographic productions: most of the design standards used by various national and international map-making agencies simply cannot be applied, for they do not deal with such complex cultural features, with subterranean as well as surface features, with remains of so many periods, with such rugged terrain at such a precise scale, or with bi- and perhaps even trilingual labels. Questions of color, line weight, map symbols, and the like have largely been settled. But we have found ourselves faced with the task of designing our own cartographic standards; in a very real sense, we are establishing a completely new genre of archaeological cartography.Item bulletin of the American Research Center in Egypt, NUMBER 181 - (Fall/Winter - 2001/2002)(American Research Center in Egypt, 2001)Item bulletin of the American Research Center in Egypt, NUMBER 183 - (Fall/Winter - 2002/2003)(American Research Center in Egypt, 2002)Item bulletin of the American Research Center in Egypt, NUMBER 184 - (Fall/Winter - 2003/2004)(American Research Center in Egypt, 2004)Item bulletin of the American Research Center in Egypt, NUMBER 185 - (Summer 2004)(American Research Center in Egypt, 2004)Item bulletin of the American Research Center in Egypt, NUMBER 186 - (Fall 2004)(American Research Center in Egypt, 2004)Item bulletin of the American Research Center in Egypt, NUMBER 187 - (Spring 2005)(American Research Center in Egypt, 2005)Item bulletin of the American Research Center in Egypt, NUMBER 188 - (Fall 2005)(American Research Center in Egypt, 2005)Item bulletin of the American Research Center in Egypt, NUMBER 189 - (Spring 2006)(American Research Center in Egypt, 2006)Item bulletin of the American Research Center in Egypt, NUMBER 190 - (Fall 2006)(American Research Center in Egypt, 2006)Item bulletin of the American Research Center in Egypt, NUMBER 191 - (Spring 2007)(American Research Center in Egypt, 2007)Item bulletin of the American Research Center in Egypt, NUMBER 192 - (Fall-Winter 2007)(American Research Center in Egypt, 2007)Item bulletin of the American Research Center in Egypt, NUMBER 193 - (Summer-Fall 2008)(American Research Center in Egypt, 2008)
