Deepening of independent scientific research. Development of systematics in the method of working and the critical examination of source material, implementation of a scientific discourse on the topic.Contents
The course deals with various issues relating to the 2nd Intermediate Period and the beginning of the New Kingdom in Egypt and the transition from the Middle to the Late Bronze Age in the neighbouring regions (appr. 1700-1400 BC). There is a wealth of material available to work on these topics, such as archaeological excavations, finds, statues, texts, wall decorations and other sources. Included are studies on Egypt, as well as on Nubia or neighbouring areas of the eastern Levant, which were in contact with Egypt during this period. Architecture (large buildings, settlements, necropolises, etc.) as well as the remains of material culture or inscriptions are relevant and provide rich source material for an analysis of this period from the 2nd millennium BC.Methods
Individual work, presentation and discussion, written elaboration. Drawing on source material for analysis for various individual topics. Sources include archaeological and textual evidence, architectural remains as well as the analysis of wall decorations, or other sources that can provide information about lifestyles, burial customs, trade contacts, political processes or other questions on the subject.
The individual topics will be made available via moodle at the beginning of the semester. Topics will be assigned in the first session.
