Description
|
This dataset includes information about the stable network of topographic nails set up in the North Saqqara plateau in 2023 and 2024. It contains a CSV chart with the spatial data (Coordinates in WGS 84, UTM 36N projection; datum EGM2008), as well as photographs of the nails. It is hoped that this information will facilitate the absolute georeferencing of future archaeological and survey enterprises. (2024-05-07)
