Since 2008 the University of Jaen in cooperation with the Egiptian Ministry of Antiquities is developing an archaeological project in the necropolis of Qubbet el-Hawa. This is generating a very useful information for the reconstruction of the history of Ancient Egypt.
As a result of the experience gained in the latest nine seasons of excavation campaings, the University of Jaen has obteined a large experience which is ofered now as a postgraduate theoretical and practical field school for postgraduate students.
This course is designed as a theoretical-practical field of work that has as main objectives the learning and understanding of the archaeological excavation as well as the research methods used in Egypt.
During the course the students will learn the methodological elements necessary for excavations and research work related to Egyptology, which will be conducted by specialists in their different areas. In addition, the student will be provided with the necessary tools for the application of archaeological methodology, both in theoretical classes and during field work, facing the different situations that arise in the day to day of an excavation.
Students will learn about the history of Ancient Egypt, especially during the Old and Middle Kingdom (2200-1750 BC), dates on which the Qubbet el - Hawa site was used as a necropolis of the provincial elite. The student will be able to recognize in a general way the materials of each historical moment and its technology, as well as its functionality and context.
