Declining or Waning
- Traditional Archaeological Methods:
There has been a noticeable shift away from purely traditional archaeological techniques towards more innovative and technology-driven approaches, such as non-destructive analyses and digital documentation. - General Historical Overviews:
Papers providing broad historical overviews without specific archaeological findings or methodologies are less frequent, suggesting a move towards more specialized studies. - Focus on Early Islamic Period:
While historically significant, recent publications indicate a reduced emphasis on the early Islamic period of Egypt compared to the wealth of studies focusing on Pharaonic and Greco-Roman periods. - General Conservation Practices:
Studies that discuss general conservation practices without specific case studies or innovative methodologies have decreased, as the journal increasingly favors research with concrete applications and results. - Non-Archaeological Topics:
