Current developments and methods in History and Archaeology of Ancient Egypt
Mathilde Prévost
During this 2022-2023 year, the Ifao proposes a seminar on the current developments in historical and archaeological research about Ancient Egypt. It aims to present to the audience a survey of the methods that are used nowadays by the different specialists working for a better knowledge of Ancient Egypt, and the thematics and problems on which they are working on.
The seminar will take place mostly in English and one Monday every two weeks (with a few exceptions), from 4.30 to 6.30 PM, from October 31th. It is hosted at the Ifao in Cairo.
We also hope to organize one or two visits of archaeological sites.
We open this seminar to an Egyptian audience as a priority, more specifically to people that are working at the Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities, and are currently working on a research project. The applicants should master English.
The call for applications is opened until October 24th at 11.59 PM. A maximum of 20 applicants will be selected.
