Jade Bajeot - Tell el-Iswid (Egypt)

Jade Bajeot

Jade obtained her doctorate in Prehistory from the University of La Sapienza in Rome, Italy. Supported in 2015, her work focuses on unpublished data from the Maadi predynastic site (Cairo). The excavation had been carried out by Salatore M. Puglisi of the University of Sapeinza between 1970 and the beginning of the 1980s. The results of this research were recently published in a monograph.

Before starting her studies on Predynasticism, Jade trained in Egyptology and topography. Between 2008 and 2015, she worked as a topographer at the Arslantepe site in Turkey, under the supervision of Marcella Frangipane (Professor at the University of Sapienza).

Her interest in Predynastics and more particularly in the Cultures of Lower Egypt, led her to visit Tell el-Iswid in 2011. She was then a scholarship holder for 6 months in Egypt at the French Institute of Oriental Archeology in Cairo. Since 2014, she has been a member of the Tell el-Iswid team and in 2017, under the direction of Valentine Roux (Research Director at the CNRS), she began an analysis of the site's ceramic assemblies with a technological approach, a straightforward approach. to document - on the contrary studies only on forms and decorations - traditions, production systems and their evolutions.
