NAQLUN 2007. PRELIMINARY REPORT

Summary/Abstract: The season’s prime objectives for this season of excavations on the site of the Nekloni monastery was research on the site of the western hermitages, specifically Hermitage 87 to the west of cemetery C, and an updating of site topography using state-of-the-art surveying equipment. Textile restorers continued the conservation of textiles excavated from cemeteries A and C. The mission’s Arabist studied the Arabic documents discovered in 2005, while other team members concentrated on documenting the Arabic and Coptic texts on paper and parchment uncovered at Naqlun during excavations in 1986–1989 and presently stored in the Coptic Museum in Cairo.
