In this framework the covariant Hamilton equations for Mechanics and field theory are defined in terms of multisymplectic $(n+2)$--forms, where $n$ is the dimension of the basis manifold, together with connections on the configuration bundle. We provide a new geometric Hamiltonian description of field theory, based on the introduction of a suitable {\em composite fibered bundle} which plays the role of an {\em extended configuration bundle}. Instead of fibrations over an $n$--dimensional base manifold $\bX$, we consider {\em fibrations over a line bundle $\Tht$ fibered over $\bX$}. The concepts of {\em extended Legendre bundle}, {\em Hamiltonian connection}, {\em Hamiltonian form} and {\em covariant Hamilton equations} are introduced and put in relation with the corresponding standard concepts in the polymomentum approach to field theory.9 pages, VIII Int.
