commoner. - - - -
The exDedition will be a. joint
undertaking by the university's
museum and the Egyptian de
partment of antiquities; . '
Mr. and Mrs. John Dimick of
(2029 Connecticut Ave.) Wash
ington D.C., came to . Cairo last
summer in advance of the uni
versity group, which is expected
to arrive here next February. .
Dimick, a - research l associate
with the university, said the ex
pedition will be under the direc
tion of Dr. Rudolph Anthes cur
ator of the Egyptian department
of the university's museum
Dimick credited the present
Egyptian regime for ' choosing
"selected outside interests' to
cooperate with Egyptian archer
ologists in tackling the mounr
tainous amount of research that
remains to be done here. .
Dimick, said the government
plans for the, forthcoming expe
dition ' and showed ''enormous
good-will", in extending the 'mu
seum all the privileges " needed
for the work at Mit Rehina J
The associate Egyptologists,
and scientific , personnel for ; the
expedition will be supplied .by
the university; and "the depart
ment of 'antiquities.

ancient Egyptian common man,
his - implementations,' hofusing
and living conditions,' " Dimick
said. ;. l:ry:
-:The work-on the vestiges of
ordinary people of long ago will
contrast sharply with the much
publicized.: excavations at .the
Sakara ; necropolis, a. short dis
tance .uphill from Mit Rehina. .
Flooded Region -V?
Generations . of . archeologists
have:'; concentrated -V their re
searches on the pyramids and
other i tomb structures at Sak
kara, where pharaohs and other
great personages were buried at
death - in : their, glittering orna
ments. .
Mit Rehina lies in the area of
the original Nile flood and has
suffered from perennial inunda
tion, whereas the Sakkara pla
teau was spared the ravages of
the floods. . -
The forthcoming expedition
intends to carry ; on , the thor
ough ' : research V in Egyptology
conducted by the; University of
Pennsylvania museum in the
past and to fire -the. imagination
of the public with the far-flung
field work, of its staff of arche
ologists. , -- .. . - -
-k v While laying, the groundwork
for the. expedition," Dimick is al
so on a research fellowship with
the ( American Research "Center
in, Egypt Inc. : He is collaborat
ing with Dr. Bernard Bothmer,

until the Mit Rehina excavations
