One of our core aims is to offer support to assist in excavations connected with and research in ancient Egyptian studies. Thanks to the generous support of our members, the Essex Egyptology Group has an annual grants programme offering funds to a range of Egyptological causes.
In 2023 we were delighted to support the following organisations and projects:
South Asasif Project
To support the restoration of a ceiling in TT223 – the tomb of Karakahamun
The Amarna Trust
Supporting the development of a site preservation plan which might include the preservation of the North Dig House or a project to record the current condition of Amarna houses in the Central City which were excavated in the early 1900s.
Theban Tomb 16 Project
To support Suzanne Onstine and the University of Memphis team in the cleaning and preservation of the plaster walls and paint
Egypt Exploration Society
To help with the conservation work carried out on their collections
Kom el-Hettan
To help with the continuation of Dr. Hourig Sourouzian’s work at the mortuary temple of Amenhotep III
