Open Egyptology: Forum: Conservation, Site Management and Museums

New Supreme Council of Antiquities (SCA) rules issued in 2002 mandate that every expedition is responsible for the conservation of artifacts and the restoration of tombs and temples discovered by the expedition. The SCA and foreign missions are also increasingly involved in developing site management plans for the monuments. This forum is designed to discuss these issues. Constructive and informed criticism of current conditions with the goal of promoting better practices is welcome.
