The beginnings go back to the mid-1980s when surveying started on three sites, but research intensified only after 1997. Summing up, nearly 80 hectares on twenty sites have been prospected to date. The investigated sites represent a broad horizon, in chronological terms (from the 4th millennium BC to the 2nd millennium AD) as well as geographical ones (Delta, Middle and Upper Egypt, Oases, Mediterranean and Red Sea coasts). In most cases geophysical surveying has been found useful in mapping buried archaeological features, such as stone and mud-brick foundation walls, tombs, pottery kilns, and fireplaces. At a majority of the sites archaeological excavations have contributed to the verification of geophysical results. In a few cases the interpretation was based on the outcome of previous excavations. The work was carried out in cooperation with the Polish Center of Mediterranean Archaeology of Warsaw University, the German, Austrian, French, American and Dutch Archaeological Institutes in Cairo, several independent research projects and PREDE-CONICET in Buenos Aires}, type={Text}, title={Archaeological geophysics in Egypt: the Polish contribution}, URL={http://www.rcin.org.pl/Content/237982/274178.pdf}, keywords={archaeological prospection, archaeological geophysics, magnetic method, resistivity method, GPR, Egypt}, }
