Ritual sound and functional continuity in the Middle Nile Valley
This article examines the persistence of ritual drumming in the Middle Nile Valley through a comparative analysis of Napatan and Meroitic iconography and contemporary Sudanese Sufi practice. It focuses on the ritual drum known as Al-Nūba and explores whether its continued presence reflects functional continuity rather than direct historical transmission. Drawing on Jan Assmann’s concept of cultural memory and Victor Turner’s theory of ritual proc…
Vers une gestion du patrimoine culturel dans la région des monts Nouba (Soudan)
Nous présentons dans cet article les résultats d’un questionnaire réalisé entre août et novembre 2024 auprès des communautés noubas du Kordofan du Sud. Cette étude, la première du genre, a pour objectif d’évaluer la conscience collective que les Noubas ont de leur patrimoine culturel et de leur histoire, tant sur le plan national que local. À travers l’utilisation de la méthode descriptive analytique, ce rapport met en lumière : (1) l’impact posi…
Female figurines in Sudan from the Neolithic to Meroitic period (4600 BC to 350 AD)
Clay female figurines recovered from central and northern Sudan suggest there are cultural similarities between the Neolithic (5000-2800 BC) and Meroitic periods (400 BC-AD 350). Female figurines were recovered from several Meroitic sites, including from the elite cemeteries in el-Bagrawwaya west, the domestic strata in the royal city of Meroe, the Meroitic settlement in Karanog at lower Nubia, and at el-Muweis south of the Meroitic Town. Here, I…
The features of meroitic spread in south-central Sudan
New archaeological discoveries south of Khartoum in south-central Sudan are enhancing our ability to determine the spread of items originating from the Meroitic state 2000 years ago, beyond the political borders of the state. For the first time in a full-length paper, this research aims to increase our knowledge of archaeological sites dating to this period along the very poorly understood White Nile. The conditions of the sites are outlined, arc…
The second season of excavations at Jebel Moya (south-central Sudan)
This report presents the latest data from ongoing excavations at Jebel Moya, Sudan. This year saw the opening of five new trenches and continued excavation of an archaeologically rich trench. We have recovered four individual burials, a mud brick wall and a number of animal and archaeobotanical remains. The excavations also yielded a longer pottery sequence, showing clearly that the site was in use by at least the sixth millennium BC. This season…
New findings on the significance of Jebel Moya in the eastern Sahel
This paper presents new excavation data and new radiometric dates for Jebel Moya, south-central Sudan. These data suggest revisions to previous chronological understandings of the site. New excavations, initiated in 2017, show a longer, more continuous occupation of the site than has been previously recognised. Archaeozoological and archaeobotanical analyses provide evidence for domesticated taxa. Archaeobotanical evidence is dominated by domesti…
