Raphaël Angevin is a field archaeologist and a prehistorian. He is currently curator at the French Ministry of Culture (SRA-DRAC Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes) and scientific member of the UMR 7041-ArScAn of the French National Center fo Scientific Research (permanent position, CNRS, Team Du village à l’Etat au Proche et Moyen-Orient, Nanterre). Specialist of the Chalcolithic and Early Bronze Age lithic industries, he conducts research in Near Eastern Archeology which led him to prepare a PhD thesis devoted to the technological study of flint and obsidian productions from Mari (Tell Hariri, Syria) and other mesopotamian sites (Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne University). In Egypt, his research interests focus on the origins of the Karnak temples, as well as the material culture from the IVth to the IInd millennium BC (Predynastic, Early Dynastic, Old and Middle Kingdom). He also coordinates the excavations of the courtyard of the Xth Pylon in Karnak (PCSX, with G. Charloux, CNRS).
