Egypt

1 - 12 February 2003

The fieldtrip to Egypt was photographically documented by me as a departmental responsibility. The primary task was to take slides for the archive, which is used for teaching purposes. Some 900 slides, 423 color photos and circa 300 digital photos were taken, a total of 1623 images.


The majority are archaeological or architectural, some more ethno-archaeological, and a few ‘social’. On the next three pages is a selection of this photographic record.
