Methods of assessment This module is assessed by means of two pieces of written coursework of 2000 words, each contributing 50% to the final marks for the module. The module co-ordinator is willing to discuss an outline of the student's approach to the assignment, provided this is planned suitably in advance of the submission date. Guidance on preparing coursework can be found on Moodle under the heading 'IoA Student Administration': https://moodle.ucl.ac.uk/ The criteria for assessment used in this module are those agreed by the Board of Examiners in Archaeology, and are included in the Undergraduate Handbook which is also available on Moodle under the heading 'IoA Student Administration': https://moodle.ucl.ac.uk/
Teaching methods This module will be taught through visits to the British Museum, the Petrie Museum and other venues in central London. Attendance at all sessions is compulsory. All students will make one presentation per term. Object-handling sessions give students closer familiarity with the material and awareness of conservation standards.
Workload There will be 20 hours of lectures/museum visits for this module. Students will be expected to undertake around 70 hours of reading and preparation of oral presentations for the module, plus 60
5 ARCL0084A "Ancient Egypt in London" 2019-2020
hours preparing for and producing the assessed work. This adds up to a total workload of 150 hours for the module.
Prerequisites There is no formal prerequisite, but students should discuss with their personal tutors how this module complements their main area of study, and whether assessment by essays presents any issues.
2 AIMS, OBJECTIVES AND ASSESSMENT Aims This module will provide students with an introduction to the history and archaeology of ancient Egypt, and to the study and reception of ancient Egypt in modern times, based on objects in London museums and other venues in London.
Objectives On successful completion of the module students will: be familiar in outline with the history and archaeology of ancient Egypt, understand the factors in the 19th and 20th centuries that led to large museum collections, be able to recognise and evaluate different approaches and agendas to the presentation of Egypt’s past, in museums and across diverse social contexts, develop confidence in presenting topics in museums, and handling / assessing museum objects.
Learning outcomes On successful completion of the module students will: develop their oral presentation skills through debate and subject presentations, develop a range of research skills transferable to all disciplines through reasoned and critical analysis of multiple sources, develop competence in independent research use of the library and museum archive material, demonstrate sensitivity and competence in managing fragile ancient materials.
Coursework Please observe the rules set out in this handbook and in the online student handbook for the preparation and submission of coursework. There is suitable reading for all essays in the class reading lists provided – you should also make use of the bibliographies in these books, and remember to refer to the core reading list. Additional reading lists will be provided as necessary. Well-chosen illustrations and maps must be used to illustrate your argument. They are not included in the word count and can contribute to the clarity of your paper and will contribute to the marks. Irrelevant illustrations are not a substitute for a reasoned argument.
6 ARCL0084A "Ancient Egypt in London" 2019-2020
YOU MUST USE THE EXACT TITLE OF THE ESSAY AS GIVEN, NOT AN APPROXIMATION.
ESSAY 1. Between 1900–2100 words. Submission deadline midnight Monday 11 November 2019 on Turnitin (hard copy to submission box at reception desk at IoA). The marked essays will be returned to the students by 15 November 2019. Pick ONE of the following questions: 1. Which political and social factors resulted in large collections of Egyptian antiquities outside Egypt in the 19th century? Given their histories, is it justified to continue holding them? 2. Are the relief sculpture palettes of the late Predynastic Period art, communication or propaganda? 3. Discuss the evidence for different theories for the rise of the complex state in Egypt, indicating which theory or theories you consider most persuasive?
ESSAY 2. Between 1900–2100 words. Submission deadline midnight Monday 9 December 2019 on Turnitin (hard copy to submission box at reception desk at IoA) (hard copy to submission box at reception desk at IoA). The marked essays will be returned to the students by 13 December 2019. Pick ONE of the following: 1. Discuss the significance of one object on display in the Petrie Museum or the British Museum. Give a description of its form, material, and manufacture, and discuss its origin and archaeological context. Give examples of comparable objects to support your argument over its significance. For this option, a list will be provided. 2. Discuss one Egyptianising object or monument in London. A list will be provided. For either option, discuss your choice with the module co-ordinator by 22 November 2019.
Whichever topics you choose, your essays should comprise: a clear (but brief) introduction to set the scene and outline your approach, the main part with a well-structured, fully-referenced description that summarises your reading, a conclusion with your OWN assessment/evaluation: please feel free to agree or disagree with conclusions reached by different authors you have read. What do YOU think is significant? It is not about who is right or wrong, but about how the evidence is interpreted.
If students are unclear about the nature of an assignment, they should discuss this with the module co-ordinator.
Students are not permitted to re-write and re-submit essays in order to try to improve their marks. However, students may be permitted, in advance of the deadline for a given assignment, to submit for comment a brief outline of the assignment.
7 ARCL0084A "Ancient Egypt in London" 2019-2020
Please note that in order to be deemed to have completed and passed in any module, it is necessary to submit all assessments. Word counts The following should not be included in the word count: title page, contents pages, lists of figure and tables, abstract, preface, acknowledgements, bibliography, lists of references, captions and contents of tables and figures, appendices. Penalties will only be imposed if you exceed the upper figure in the indicated word count range (2,100 words). There is no penalty for using fewer words than the lower figure in the range: the lower figure is simply for your guidance to indicate the sort of length that is expected. In the 2019-2020 session penalties for overlength work will be as follows:
For work that exceeds the specified maximum length by less than 10% the mark will be reduced by five percentage marks, but the penalised mark will not be reduced below the pass mark, assuming the work merited a Pass. For work that exceeds the specified maximum length by 10% or more the mark will be reduced by ten percentage marks, but the penalised mark will not be reduced below the pass mark, assuming the work merited a Pass.
Please make sure you give your candidate number in the Title line when submitting on Moodle – this helps us with assigning and speedily marking the essay. Please do not put your name on coursework.

5. GODS AND KINGS IN ANCIENT EGYPT. This class will introduce concepts of kingship and the ancient Egyptian pantheon. Visiting the main sculpture gallery (Room 4) in the British Museum, we will explore how the sphere of the divine and the royal related to each other and how earthly and divine power were expressed in Egyptian sculpture. We will also enquire whether ‘art’ is an appropriate concept for understanding and analys- ing Egyptian sculpture and related material culture production. Meet in Malet Place outside the entrance to the Petrie Museum.
PRESENTATIONS (10 minutes each) A. Why were images of ancient Egyptian kings created? B. Discuss the role and importance of colour in ancient Egyptian art.
