Since 2003 a multi-disciplinary team has used remote sensing, traditional geoarchaeological survey and field scanning methods to investigate human-environment interactions throughout the past 10,000 years. The team has recorded major climate and landscape changes, which influenced largely the extent, pace, and nature of ecosystem development in the Fayum during the Holocene.
