"To date, modern scientific instrumentation has been only sparsely employed in the service of archaeology in Egypt. To remedy this situation a joint team from SRI International, Ain Shams University, and the Government of Egypt Organization of Antiquities has been working together since 1974 to apply both newly developed and traditional geophysical techniques in Egypt. During the 1977 field work at Giza, Saqqara, and Luxor, the team employed acoustic sounding, resistivity, and magnetometry for a variety of exploration tasks. Aerial photography and thermal-infrared imagery was also contracted from the Egyptian National Academy of Scientific Research and Technology Remote Sensing Center to aid in the interpretation of results. The methods employed brought significant results at all three sites. A number of anomalies discovered by use of the instruments merit archaeological investigation and ground-truth confirmation. Project findings are discussed in detail in this report." CONTENTS MEMBERS OF THE JOINT RESEARCH TEAM ABSTRACT LIST OF ILLUSTRATIONS LIST OF TABLES ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I. INTRODUCTION II.
