Current fieldwork at el-Lahun
The el-Lahun Survey Project initiated by the Museum of Fine Arts Budapest in collaboration with the Supreme Council of Antiquities of Egypt and the Petrie Museum of Egyptian Archaeology, University College London, is a multidisciplinary geoarchaeological fieldwork project applying geodesic, GIS, archaeological and remote sensing methods to study the architectural landscape of the area in the neighbourhood of the modern village of el-Lahun.
The primary aim of the project is to assess and record the current state of the site as a whole, and through the utilization of data from both previous excavations and current fieldwork, to achieve a deeper understanding of the architectural landscape during different periods, and the relationship between the site and the accompanying environmental factors. The project is committed to carrying out a risk analysis for the archaeological remains most open to deterioration to promote their longer-term preservation.
