Abstract

As a very extensive site in a flat desert region, Chephren’s Quarry is perfect to survey using GPS and GIS technology, also for determining modern threats. The methodology adapted is described and main results are highlighted, the latter including no less than about 700 small and medium stone extraction sites.
