Popis: Since 2005 the Aswan-Kom Ombo Archaeological Project (AKAP), managed by Yale and Bologna Universities, has investigated a number of selected areas in the region between Aswan and Kom Ombo. Many of the rock art sites identified within the concession areas are under threat, due to the impact of modern human activities. Three-dimensional technologies, such as digital surveying, laser scanner and photogrammetry, were used for the first time in the Egyptian Nile Valley in order to document the rock art and its environmental setting in a very detailed manner. The aim is that of improving data recording and analysis while saving economic resources and reducing field work time.
