Our
project was developed since 2011 and officially founded in 2016, its
main objectives being the publication and conservation
of the tomb of Ramesses III in the Valley of the Kings (KV 11).
Since 2017, it holds the concession of the Egyptian Ministry of
Antiquities to study the tomb. The project is officially based at
Humboldt-University of Berlin and cooperates with the universities
of Luxor and Qena. The long-term project combines traditional
philological and archaeological research with more recent methods
such as photogrammetry and virtual reality. Along with continuous
fieldwork, a major focus lies on archival research that allows us to
reconstruct the decoration programme of the tomb. Moreover,
the project follows an interdisciplinary approach, integrating
geological, petrological and hydrological studies in order to develop a
strategy to preserve and protect this important part of the
Egyptian World heritage.

AWOL is a project of Charles E. Jones, Tombros Librarian for Classics and Humanities at the Pattee Library, Penn State University
AWOL began with a series of entries under the heading AWOL on the Ancient World Bloggers Group Blog. I moved it to its own space here beginning in 2009.
The primary focus of the project is notice and comment on open access material relating to the ancient world, but I will also include other kinds of networked information as it comes available.
The ancient world is conceived here as it is at the Institute for the Study of the Ancient World at New York University, my academic home at the time AWOL was launched. That is, from the Pillars of Hercules to the Pacific, from the beginnings of human habitation to the late antique / early Islamic period.
AWOL is the successor to Abzu, a guide to networked open access data relevant to the study and public presentation of the Ancient Near East and the Ancient Mediterranean world, founded at the Oriental Institute, University of Chicago in 1994. Together they represent the longest sustained effort to map the development of open digital scholarship in any discipline.
