Aims:
The aim of the course is, on the one hand, to train students in the knowledge of the Egyptological discipline, to be meant in its broadest chronological meaning (from the 4th millennium BC to the Late Antiquity), with particular regard to the archaeological dimension, and on the other to provide students with tools, methods and skills useful for independently tackling a research or developing a project, Egyptological and not only.
Course organization:
the course combines some lectures - dedicated to one or more topics that may vary from course to course - with seminars dedicated to the theoretical-practical use of research tools, with activities that imply the direct involvement of students, who will be able to put immediately in practice what they learned.
Bibliography:
the reference bibliography changes from course to course, according to the topics which are dealt with; however, the following texts are to be considered a point of reference:
- N. Grimal, “Storia dell’antico Egitto”, Mondadori 2010.
- M.K. Hartwig, “A Companion to Egyptian Art”, Chichester 2015 (capitol scleti)
