The Amheida Excavation
in the Dakleh Oasis, Egypt
Description: Columbia’s excavation at Amheida is
a unique multidisciplinary project that innovatively links the
sciences and humanities. Our participants include the departments
of Anthropology; Classics; Art History and Archæology;
the Graduate School of Architecture, Preservation, and Planning;
Computer Science; the Media Center for Art History, Archæology

the interpretation and dissemination of archæological
findings.
