The Time of Magan projects, led by Valentina Azzarà and Alexandre De Rorre, has focused on the archaeology of settlement,spanning from the Neolithic to the Middle Bronze Age, in the coastal areas of Oman since 2017.

Our fields programs are an excellent opportunity for BA and MA students to gain experience in the field of Arabian Archaeology, and more broadly in settlement archaeology (excavation and documentation) and artefacts/ecofacts processing and recording. We provide a range of expert-led research-focused training designed to introduce students to practical archaeological field methods (stratigraphic excavation, SU sheets, graphic documentation, Total Station) and to build and expand on knowledge and experience gained during their university studies (computer-assisted recording and management of the finds, photogrammetry, GIS, 3D, among other things).
