ABSTRACT
In relation to the Qatar-Sudan Archaeological Project (QSAP), which promotes the valuation of the Sudanese archaeological sites, some mudbrick tombs superstructures of the Egyptian New Kingdom elite necropolis SA.C.5 on Sai Island (Sudan) were restored in 2015. In order to preserve the few remains from degradation agents (climatic and anthropic), a protective layer was added to the original structures. Our proposal also included other interventions, such as minimal replacement of missing parts or restoration of the landscape, in response to a request to restore value to these monuments. We used local materials and techniques in earthen building, which are probably similar as in ancient times, and we respected the current rules of the restoration international ethical code.
