| For the 2002-03 field season, we established a base camp in the High Desert. Camp consisted of dining, kitchen and lab tents, toilet and shower tents, personal sleeping tents, and security tents. |
 |
| Most of the artifact analysis, drawing and photography was done in the field. We used laptops powered by car batteries to enter data and to plot finds. |
 |
| Supplies were brought to the camp each day by camel. In addition to food and water (the red jugs), we also brought in a car battery each day for power. |
 |
| This is the dig house for the historic period Abydos excavations. It is located in the Low Desert. Our project area is on the escarpment in the background of this photo. We were supplied from here and used the lab space after our field season was over. |
 |
| This photo is taken from the edge of the escarpment. You can see the across the Nile Valley to the eastern escarpment, you can also see the white Abydos dig house in the valley, and you get a feeling for how cold it is in Dec. and Jan. |
