Hatshepsut - Mut Precinct, Karnak - Brooklyn Museum

In a previous post, I mentioned the work being done at the Mut Precinct at Karnak Temple complex by the John Hopkins University Team.

What i hadn't grasped at the time is that also working at the same site is the Brooklyn Museum. It's always best practice to give everyone their dues and i am pleased to be able to share this information. The Brooklyn Museum has their own dig-diary, which is online and available to all.

Please follow the links for further information.

Hatshepsut - Temple of Amun- Khamutef, Karnak

Previous posts relating to Hatshepsut's building projects at Karnak have all been within the Amun precinct.

The Mut precinct and specifically the Temple of Amun- Khamutef are very well covered on Maat-Ka-Ra-Hatschepsut by Dr. Karl Leser.

Current excavation and restoration work within the precinct of Mut is the responsibility of the John Hopkins University. Working on the site since the late 1970's their recent work is very well documented (follow the link). Each season (since 2001) they've posted online reports and photographs of their work, including the New Kingdom finds of Hatshepsut and Thutmose III. Please also feel free to contact them. You will find their details on the link above.
