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.
