ART HIS M119D
Archaeology and Art of Christian and Islamic Egypt
Description: (Same as Archaeology M112, Islamic Studies M112, and Middle Eastern Studies M112.) Lecture, three hours. Culture of Egypt transformed gradually after Muslim conquest in mid-7th century CE. According to material evidence such as ceramics, textiles, architectural forms, and building techniques, it is functionally impossible to separate pre-Islamic Christian Egypt from early Islamic Egypt. Although population may have become largely Muslim by 10th century, Egypt remained Coptic in many senses even to 14th century and retains sizeable Christian minority to present. Survey of archaeological remains and standing architecture of Egypt from 6th to 19th century, charting changes and continuities in material culture and shifts in human geography and land use. P/NP or letter grading.

Spring 2024 - This class was incredibly dull, and the professor was not engaging at all. Lectures slide all around history and are not organized chronologically. She grades extremely harshly and often arbitrarily. Make sure you read the assignment details at least THREE TIMES, or else you will miss tiny details and lose points. I would not retake this class or professor and don't recommend it unless you're super passionate about medieval egypt and archaeology. The only reason I attended lectures is because she does random attendance checks.
