The Waitt Family Foundation Supports Field School Activities on the Giza Plateau.

October 10, 2006 -- The Waitt Family Foundation is proud to support the Fall 2006 season of the Giza Field School. Under the direction of Dr. Mark Lehner, this innovative educational experience welcomes inspectors from Egypt’s Supreme Council of Antiquities to collaborate with Ancient Egypt Research Associates (AERA) archaeologists in a unique learning environment. Participants acquire the fundamental skills involved in archaeological mapping, excavation, and artifact analysis. This interdisciplinary program not only helps us to piece together the story of Giza’s glorious ancient past but enables us to contribute to the success of those entrusted to safeguard Egypt’s treasures for future generations.
