Implications of a Decorated Predynastic Terracotta Model for Saharan Neolithic Influence in the Nile Valley
Neolithic adaptation and the Holocene functioning of Tertiary palaeodrainages in southern Egypt and northern Sudan
The 'radar rivers' of the southern Eastern Sahara are systems of aggraded valleys containing inset drainage channels, now entirely obscured by wind-blown sand in the dry and hostile open desert. These features, first recognized on radar images, are remnants of the very different and moister landscapes of the Pleistocene and early Holocene. Proof of their attraction for early human settlement are the Acheulean artefacts that are found buried in al…
Paleorivers and geoarchaeology in the southern Egyptian Sahara
Interpretation of Shuttle Imaging Radar (SIR) images acquired during the November 1981 flight of Columbia led to the idea that a paleodrainage system of regional and perhaps transcontinental proportions crossed southern Egypt and northern Sudan prior to the onset of Quaternary aridity. Three seasons of field investigations in two locales (Wadi Arid and Wadi Safsaf, some 70‐80 km apart) near the Sudan border of southern Egypt confirmed initial int…
Mississippian Solstice Shrines and a Cahokian Calendar
This article examines the hypothesis that early Middle Mississippians had a calendric system which tied agriculture and religious ritual together. It also suggests that to that end they built solstice shrines as a means of recording the passage of time through the behavior of the sun and the moon. Using data from structures having possible astronomical alignments, from historic-ethnographic-linguistic sources, and from agricultural planting cycle…
Acheulian Sites along the “Radar Rivers,” Southern Egyptian Sahara
The term "radar rivers" refers to almost fully aggraded Tertiary basins and valleys that lie beneath the sand sheet in southern Egypt and northern Sudan. These features were first recognized when radar images produced by the shuttle imaging radar (SIR-A) experiment aboard the November, 1981, flight of the space shuttle Columbia were examined. Field investigations have shown that at least the upper 40 m of these ancient valleys (which are hundreds…

Late Prehistoric Cultural Adaptation in Southwest Egypt and the Problem of the Nilotic Origins of Saharan Cattle Pastoralism
One might wonder what southwest Egypt has to do with the Nilotic origins of Saharan cattle pastoralism. Very briefly, the two areas are connected by suggestions that Saharan cattle pastoralism originated in or diffused through the Nile Valley from where it spread westward in late prehistoric times.1 The Gilf Kebir and Jebel 'Uweinat massifs, located about 600 km. from the Nile River in southwest Egypt and northwest Sudan, provide abundant evidenc…
