This master’s specialisation deals with the archaeology of the civilisations along the Nile in its broadest sense, and provides a unique long-term overview of the development of societies in Egypt from an archaeological perspective. Specialised seminars provide a familiarisation with relations between material culture and society in different time periods: from Prehistory, through the Pharaonic era to the Graeco-Roman periods. To complement this long term perspective, a course on the archaeology of Coptic Egypt will be offered for the optional free choice.
This master programme deals with the archaeology of the civilisations along the Nile in its broadest sense and provides a unique long-term overview of the development of societies in Egypt from an archaeological perspective. Specialised seminars provide a familiarisation with relations between material culture and society in different time periods: from Prehistory, through the Pharaonic era to the Greco-Roman periods. The thesis allows for specialisation into a specific topic selected by the student.
In the course of the programme, guest speakers from within and without Leiden University will be invited.
Many staff members allied to the programme have ongoing fieldwork in Egypt and your thesis might tie in with those research projects. For this and other research in Egypt by the participants of the MA programme the Dutch Institute in Cairo (NVIC) provides excellent facilities.
