The Karnak Great Hypostyle Hall Project is a joint endeavor of the University of Memphis and the Université de Québec à Montréal in Canada. Joining the project in 2016, the Lanier Center team, led by Egyptologist Dr. Mark Janzen, focuses on the famous west wall of the Cour de la Cachette, which bears the famous Hittite Peace Treaty of Ramesses II and battle scenes and inscriptions from his son Merneptah. The overall goals of the project are to make a complete scientific record of all the hieroglyphic texts and relief carvings from the Hypostyle Hall, to make these inscriptions widely available to scientists and the worldwide public through traditional publications and via digital technologies like the internet, and to conduct scholarly research and analysis of the Hypostyle Hall to better understand those aspects of Egyptian civilization reflected in its inscriptions, including its history, religion, politics, society and culture.

The Ilibalyk Expedition started in August 2016 and is conducted by a joint team from the Lanier Center for Archaeology and from the Republic of Kazakhstan, who partnered with the private archaeological company Archaeological Expertise (headed by Dr. Dmitriy Voyakin). The project centers around Ilibalyk, a medieval Silk Road city, now located within the modern village of Usharal in the Almaty Oblast near the Chinese border. Particular interest in the site was kindled after the discovery of a Nestorian gravestone near the site in 2014, and the project was partially initiated to explore the possible presence of Nestorian Christianity in modern Kazakhstan, which would be the earliest evidence of Christianity in the region. 

The Tel Gezer Excavation and Publication Project was a consortium of institutions under the direction of Dr. Steven Ortiz and Dr. Samuel Wolff. It was a multi-disciplinary field project investigating the Iron Age history of the ancient biblical city of Tel Gezer. After 10 years in the field, the project completed its final season in the summer of 2017 and is now focused on lab work and publication. 

The Kourion Urban Space Project is a multinational effort, committed to working in partnership with local Cypriot archaeologists and students. It is under the direction of Dr. Thomas Davis. 

In the excavations led by David Soren of the University of Arizona (1984-1987), Soren unearthed a domestic structure which came to be known as the Earthquake House. Dr. Davis, the principal investigator of the current project, served as field director of those excavations in the first two seasons. The excavations confirmed the destruction of this building by the earthquake and its lack of subsequent disturbance by revealing not only a complete artifact assemblage in situ, but also the remains of five victims that had been killed during the event. Such sudden and complete destruction makes Kourion one of only a few sites around the ancient Mediterranean to provide archaeologists with the opportunity to analyze artifact assemblages in the context of their daily use rather than after they have been discarded. 

The Tel Burna Excavation Project excavates the ancient site believed to be biblical Libnah, located in the Shephelah of Israel. The project is directed by Dr. Itzhaq Shai of Ariel University and Dr. Steve Ortiz of the Lanier Center for Archaeology at Lipscomb University. The principal areas of excavation are exploring a large Late Bronze Age (13th century BCE) Canaanite  town, including a cultic area, and the later Iron Age Judahite fortified town, including the newly discovered city gate. The summer of 2024 marked the project's 14th and final season in the field.

Renewed excavations at Nuri, northern Sudan, began in 2017 under Pearce Paul Creasman (ACOR, Amman). Under Dr. James K. Hoffmeier, along with a team from Lipscomb University (LCA), new work focused on a temple near Taharqa’s pyramid, first uncovered by George Reisner ~100 years ago. The Temple had been completely buried by sand for a century, and the excavation involved relocating and clearing the building. The reliefs are under study, but no royal names have been identified so far. Dating remains uncertain; attribution to Taharqa is possible but unconfirmed. The temple near Taharqa’s pyramid at Nuri may have been his funerary temple, but lack of inscriptions or royal names makes dating and attribution uncertain. Its continued use by later kings highlights differences between Egyptian and Cushite funerary traditions.
