Radboud University Honours Academy - Beyond the Frontiers

• Student

  • Jul 2015 - Feb 2016

  Nijmegen, Netherlands The research I have conducted in the context of the Honours Academy ' Beyond the Frontiers' programme centred on the archive of a nineteenth-century archaeologist, Austen Henry Layard (1817 - 1894). Layard was one of the first Western archaeologists to excavate in Mesopotamia (present-day Iraq), at the Biblical sites of Nineveh and Nimrud, amongst others. The remains he uncovered in these places were unlike anything before seen in Western European academia, where the discipline of archaeology… Show more The research I have conducted in the context of the Honours Academy ' Beyond the Frontiers' programme centred on the archive of a nineteenth-century archaeologist, Austen Henry Layard (1817 - 1894). Layard was one of the first Western archaeologists to excavate in Mesopotamia (present-day Iraq), at the Biblical sites of Nineveh and Nimrud, amongst others. The remains he uncovered in these places were unlike anything before seen in Western European academia, where the discipline of archaeology and its forebearers had mainly focussed on Greek and Roman art, which was considered to be the highest form of art ever made. Crucial to my research were the letters which Layard sent to, and received from, two of his immediate superiors, Sir Stratford Canning (1786 - 1880), and Sir Henry Rawlinson (1810 - 1894). These letters are part of the extensive 'Layard Papers' archive kept in the British Library in London. The focus of my research is the way Layard negotiated the position of his discoveries within the prevailing European and archaeological art-historical discourses, embodied by the more classically-trained Canning and Rawlinson. My research was supervised in London by Dr Ulrike Sommer of the Institute of Archaeology of University College London, while my research-master tutor Dr Nathalie de Haan also supervised my progress. The final result, the basis for a scientific article to be published, was graded an 8.5 out of 10. Show less

Finally, the Conference Committee was my final responsibility this year.

I also supervised all public areas. Further, I acted as a tour guide for the excavation area and surrounding neighborhood, in which I tried to incorporate as much new information from the excavation as possible. On the days reserved for primary and high schools I monitored a workshop with Roman sherds for the children. This means I helped the students with analysing sherds and the reconstruction of these sherds into their original form. Show less

  Nijmegen, Netherlands My research took place on the crossroads of archaeology, history and philology. Central to my research, supervised by Dr. Nathalie de Haan, was the transition period from Bronze- to Iron Age in the eastern Meditteranean. I 'tested' the different archaeological explanations for this transition against the way bronze and iron are depicted in Homers Iliad, which was formalised in this period.

Final product of the research was a research article, and a section in the Honours collection, aimed at a wider audience. As part of the final symposium for Honours students, I also presented my research to a wider audience during a 25-minute presentation. My final article was graded an 8 out of 10 by my supervisor.
