Subject: Temple of Ramesses II in Abydos

Temple of Ramesses II in Abydos

I am the co-director of New York University's project of the temple
of Ramesses II in Abydos, Egypt. Ogden Goelet is the other
co-director.

The project has completed thus far three field seasons from 2008
through 2010,and we are currently preparing for the 2011 season
which is scheduled for December 1, 2010 to January 15, 2011.  A
complete architectural and photographic record of the temple has
been completed and we are currently working on the epigraphic
record.

During the upcoming season we plan to produce a conservation plan
for the temple, and prepare suggestions for specific techniques and
supplies. This will entail producing 1) condition report of the
various sections of the temple; 2) Damage mapping record.

Please let me know if there is any one with experience that fits our
project and would be interested in joining our next expedition on
December 1, 2010.
