Scholars and archeologists from across North America traded ideas at the annual meeting of the American Research Center in Egypt (ARCE), which took place in Portland this week.
The Center is heavily involved in U.S. Agency for International Development-funded work to preserve and restore tombs, temples, mosques, and churches that reflect Egypt's many cultures and religions.
