Greetings! Allow me to introduce myself:
My name is Paul James Cowie. I am an archaeologist, historian and educator by training and profession, specialising in the areas of the Ancient Near East and Egypt, but with contributory interests in many other periods and topics.
I was born in May 1968 in Manly, a beach- and harbour-side suburb of Sydney, Australia. Although returning occasionally to visit family, I am (for the moment at least!) based in London, United Kingdom, England, having moved to live in the United Kingdom in 1998.
Presently, I am engaged in the task of completing my PhD in archaeology and ancient history. I am self-financing as a research student, and currently work as a teacher of History, Government and Politics, and Religious Studies and Ethics at the John Lyon School, an independent boys school that forms the day-school component of the Harrow Foundation, alongside the (slightly more) well-known boarding school.
I am an Honours graduate of the University of Sydney, from which I hold the degree of Bachelor of Arts and a Graduate Diploma in Secondary Education. After a short break from studies whilst beginning in the teaching profession in Sydney, I undertook postgraduate study at the Macquarie University, with which university I am still associated. I graduated as Master of Arts in Egyptology in 1996 and commenced work on my doctoral dissertation (on a part-time and largely external basis) in 1997.
My training as an archaeologist and historian has had a strong practical component: I have worked on a variety of archaeological excavations in Egypt, Jordan and Israel; most recently, as an area supervisor for the Hebrew University of Jerusalem-sponsored excavations at Tel Rehov and at Akhziv.
