  Since 2012 the project has been continuing as the part of a wider research program of the Polish-Egyptian Archaeological and Conservation Mission in the Temple of Hatshepsut at Deir el-Bahari. The project is dedicated to the epigraphical and egyptological studies on the corpus of nearly seven hundred fragments of decorated limestone blocks originally forming architectural portions and the decoration program of the Amun Processional Bark Station. Originally the construction was located in the middle of the Hatshepsut causeway connecting the Valley Temple with the Temple constituting integral elements of the mortuary temple complex of Hatshepsut. Recently the main effort of the project is to concentrate on the documentation of all of the study material.
