Beginning in 2004 as a preservation effort against water damage and agricultural salts, work at Hawara expanded in 2008 with ground penetrating radar, tomography, electromagnetics, and resistivity surveys. Two parallel missions ran simultaneously: one by the Egyptian National Research Institute and Ghent University, another Polish mission with Cairo University led by Dr. Adam. Louis de Cordier's "Mataha" project also contributed, though it operated outside official Egyptian channels.
