About the course

Nubia and Egypt have a long and entangled history. An understanding of the archaeology of Nubia is essential to understanding this complex relationship. The course provides an in-depth analysis of the main archaeological sites in Nubia and their development over time from ca. 4000 BC until the Meroitic period (4th century AD). At each site, the different kinds of features, e.g. settlements, harbours, roads, temples, quarries, tombs and rock art, are studied in order to understand the function and meaning of each site.

An integral element of the course is the study and interpretation of the unique archaeological collection from the Scandinavian Joint Expedition to Nubia 1960-1964 housed at Uppsala University Museum Gustavianum.
