Egypt
The
Institute of Archaeology is at the forefront of current debates on theory led
approaches to ancient Egypt across the disciplines of archaeology, history, and
the social sciences. Research covers pharaonic society and culture, the
prehistory of the Nile valley and the Delta, and post-pharaonic perceptions of
Egypt. Egyptologists and archaeologists at UCL are actively involved in
fieldwork and museum research. They can build on the legacy of Sir Flinders
Petrie, founding father of systematic fieldwork methodology in Egypt and first
professor in Egyptology at UCL. Today, UCL's Petrie Museum of Egyptian Archaeology is an international
centre for researchers on ancient Egypt and Sudan.
