Ahmad Mohammed

In every artifact, there is a story waiting to be uncovered, a connection to the people who shaped our world. My work is to help preserve those stories for future generations.

Ahmad Mohammed is a PhD Candidate at Durham University, specializing in material culture and settlement archaeology. His research focuses on pottery production in Egypt, spanning from the Predynastic to the early Islamic period. Using a multidisciplinary approach that includes ethnoarchaeology, chaîne opératoire, craft landscapes, and GIS, he explores the dynamics of craft landscape (ancient workshops). Ahmad also serves as Assistant Editor for World Archaeology and is a member of the Sais Excavation Mission in Egypt. As Project Coordinator for EAMENA at Durham University, he manages key aspects of the project, including organizing workshops, delivering training, and overseeing digitization projects.
