Islamic Archaeology Students Participate in Hands-on Epigraphy Training at Department Museum

SANA’A, Yemen — June 29, 2026

The Islamic Archaeology Division at the Faculty of Arts and Humanities organized a practical training session today for third-year students, as part of the applied curriculum for the “Islamic Archaeological Inscriptions” course. The session was conducted under the supervision of course instructor Dr. Hassan Al-Rassas.
The training focused on introducing students to the various types of Arabic calligraphic scripts used in Islamic inscriptions. Students engaged in reading, deciphering, and analyzing historical Islamic inscriptions preserved in the Islamic Archaeology Hall at the Department of Archaeology and Tourism Museum. This hands-on experience aims to develop students’ practical and scientific skills while bridging the gap between theoretical knowledge and field application.
This initiative is part of the Faculty of Arts and Humanities’ ongoing commitment to strengthening the practical components of its academic programs, ensuring students acquire the essential field skills required to study, read, and analyze Islamic archaeological texts.
