main aims of the workshop

2) Showcase Egyptian/Nubian settlement archaeology as potential trigger for an interdisciplinary archaeology with a strong focus on archaeological sciences because of excellent working conditions due to a good state of preservation;
All members of the Young Academy and Austrian Academy of Sciences as well as all other members of the research community are invited to participate in the discussion of possible future developments and the potential of archaeology, archaeometry and other interdisciplinary fields.
