People the Sadana Excavation Couldn't Do Without

1998 Sadana Island Shipwreck Excavation
The unflagging support of the Supreme Council of Antiquities for Egypt is greatly appreciated. SCA director Dr. Gaballah Ali Gaballah, the director of the underwater section Ibrahim Atiya Darwish, and the General Director for the Upper Egypt Inspectorate Hussein el-Afiouni proved to be wonderful hosts to the INA-Egypt team once again. We are grateful to SCA Inspectors Ayman Hindi, Wa'il Karam, Abdallah Muhammad, Sameh Ramses, Muhammad Mustafa, Muhammad Sayyid, Mustafa Desouki, Taimour Ismail, Magdi Ghazzala, Usama El-Nahas, Ehab Mahmoud, Ibrahim Mitwalli, Muhammad Abd al-Hamid, Abd al-hamid Abd el-Meguid, Ala'Mahrous and Ahmed Shukri for their patient and sincere efforts to help us record the shipwreck and its contents. We also thank the Egyptian Navy for allowing its officers Tarek Abu el-Ela, Hossam Hamza, and Mustafa Hassouna to join us.

And here I offer all due honor, respect, and heartfelt thanks to the volunteers and staff of INA-Egypt for their unique contributions to the 1998 season: Basim Ahmed Ahmed (U. of Alexandria), David Clarke, Bradford Eldridge, Adel Farouk, Dr. William Forest Farr, Douglas Haldane, Jane Haldane, Jeff Hall, David Harrison, Heather Hart, Frederic Heller, Gwyn Johns, Marwa Kamal el-Din Helmy (American U. of Cairo), Meredith Kato, Emad Khalil Helmi, Chris Kostman, Stephen Lowder, Marcus Manley, Steve Miller, Sherif Muhammad Abdou (U. of Alexandria), Natasha Muldar, John Nichols, Robert Ossian, Miriam Seco Alvarez, Susannah Snowden, Howard Wellman, Mary Wiland, Aaron Wilson, and Jamie Winter.
