Evidence-based research methodology is stressed as the core of Egyptological teaching, over the raw acquisition of given knowledge and processing skills. The process of working from detailed observation of the primary evidence base, however fragmentary, is given priority over theory-based approaches as the primary method for the organisation of data. These themes are illustrated through particular discussion of the interpretation of women’s roles, and of belief and practice of religion as topics particularly subject to external cultural prejudices in contexts of both learning and research.
