In the coming months, the PCMA Seminars will focus on recent research of the Polish-Egyptian Archaeological and Conservation Expedition to the Temple of Hatshepsut at Deir el-Bahari. The first lecture in the “Current research at Deir el-Bahari” series will be “Preliminary conservation research in the Lower Anubis Shrine of the Hatshepsut temple at Deir el-Bahari” presented by Monika Czerniec, MA (independent researcher).
Abstract of the series: The temple of Hatshepsut at Deir el-Bahari is considered one of the most important monuments of ancient Egyptian architecture. Since 1961, the temple has been the subject of research and work by a Polish-Egyptian expedition from the Polish Centre of Mediterranean Archaeology, University of Warsaw, whose task is to study the history of this sacred space, its reconstruction and conservation.
As part of this lecture series at the PCMA UW Seminars, members of the Polish-Egyptian expedition will present the results of the latest fieldwork and studies, focusing on archaeological excavations, epigraphic research, as well as restoration and conservation treatments.
