Field work and Projects
The SSEA undertakes a number of projects in Egypt and also in Canada. A number of scholars and members of the Society are involved with these projects, participating in working with the projects or supporting their work through various Society activities.
The Society has been working for many years at the Dakhleh Oasis. Details of the work by the project can be found at: www.dakhlehoasisproject.com
The Society has not forgotten that there is Ancient Egyptian material in a number of Canada's museums, libraries and universities, as well as a number of architectural and artistic items of note throughout Canada and North America. It therefore has been involved with the Ancient Egypt in Canada project for a number of years, aimed at 're-discovering' such links to Ancient Egypt and bringing them to the attention of scholars and the Canadian public.
