Egyptian Expedition

CSUSB students participate in archaeological projects in Egypt

A group of CSUSB students led by Kate Liszka, assistant professor of history and the university’s Pamela and Benson Harer Fellow specializing in Egyptology, worked on archaeological projects in Egypt as part of the Wadi El-Hudi Expedition in February. “It is such a fantastic learning and growing experience on so many levels,” said Liszka, who is the director of the expedition, which launched in 2014 to record and conserve the monuments at Wadi el-Hudi, an area of Egypt’s Eastern Desert. While in Egypt, the group made 3D models of the archaeological sites and inscriptions, and excavated one of the sites. This was the largest group the expedition has had to date.
