Season 2011
In view of the political situation in Egypt the excavations in the New Kingdom necropolis of Saqqara, originally planned for February 2011, have been cancelled. The most recent news is that various parts of the site of Saqqara have been plundered. Whether this involves the Dutch concession is at the moment not yet clear, and we await further news from the authorities. More in the news section.
