This article contains a preliminary description of the results of the 2015 season of the Italian Archaeological Mission to Umm al-Dabadib (Kharga Oasis, Egypt’s Western Desert). As part of the project OASIS (Old Agricultural Sites and Irrigation Systems), the team completed the 3D survey of the fort with the addition of all the accessible internal spaces, and performed the exploration of a part of the only accessible subterranean aqueduct. During the survey operations, the team gained access to two new rooms at ground floor, which functioned as food storage. The 2015 additions allowed the creation of a 3D model of the fort that attained a precision of 3 mm, and is now being used to perform structural and metrological analyses.
