Working on the photogrammetry of the Teti pyramid complex. A lot of total station work and photography, but the 3D models created by Mohamed Osman are definitely worth the effort!
Didn't pop our heads above the earth for 5hrs today. A solid (and exhausting) days work in the tomb shaft and burial chamber
Old Kingdom chaple walls and tomb shafts a plenty. This has been an amazing season and I'm only half way through! 🥰
My season with the Czech Institute of Egyptology is in full swing, working in both Saqqara and Abusir with a team of incredibly talented and inspiring professionals. 🏺🏺🏺
A fantastic morning at Nemea, accompanied by Director of the Nemea Centre for Classical Archaeology, Dr. Kim Shelton. Kim provided a wonderful overview of the site for our PPAP24 students. @mq_dha @mq_arts @SusanLupack
Wonderful morning spent with the Australian Ambassador to Greece, Alison Duncan, and her family being shown around the Heraion and surrounding archaeological areas of Perachora by our amazing director of the PPAP, @SusanLupack. @mq_arts @mq_dha @AusAmbAthens
A fantastic morning at Ancient Corinth for our PPAP students who were given a tour of the site, the museum, and storerooms by the Director of Excavations Chris Pfaff and Deputy Director Ioulia Tzonou. @SusanLupack @mq_dha @mq_arts
An amazing lecture by @SusanLupack held on the Pnyx in Athens to kick start the Perachora Peninsula Archaeological Project 2024. Very honoured to be working alongside Susan and her amazing team of MQ students for another year. @mq_dha @mq_arts

After sharing a similar artefact with my students in tutorials last week, I am now obsessed with balled up Egyptian hedgehogs!
