Since 1993, Harvey has directed the Ahmose and Tetisheri Project, responsible for the excavation of the monumental complex of King Ahmose at Abydos, southern Egypt. Harveys fieldwork in and around the pyramid complex has provided important new insights into temple architecture and decoration at the outset of Egypts New Kingdom. His discovery of artistic narratives apparently depicting Ahmoses Hyksos battles provide the earliest known visual evidence from Egypt for horse and chariot warfare. In addition to his fieldwork in Egypt, Harvey has participated in archaeological research in the U.S., Syria and Turkey.
