Tattooing found on a Ghazali individual’s right foot marks the second identified tattooed individual from medieval Nubia, and one of five known tattooed males dating to antiquity found in the Middle Nile Valley. This article places this significant discovery within a regional context and expands the spaciotemporal scope of discussion to include later North African and Christian tattooing practices. Rare finds such as ancient tattooing allow perso…
Faith embodied
Post-excavation analysis of individual Ghz-1-002, an adult probable male interred in a medieval cemetery at Ghazali, Sudan, identified tattoos on the right foot. Visualisation under different spectrums of light allowed a reconstruction of the marks, which are only the second instance of tattooing identified from medieval Nubia
Exploring Intersectional Identities and Geographic Origins in Ancient Nubia at Tombos, Sudan
As part of an intersectional investigation of changes in identity and lifeways during sociopolitical changes in the ancient Nile Valley, strontium isotope analysis has provided a useful entry for understanding local practices. At the site of Tombos, human residential mobility was spurred through Egyptian imperial actions in Nubia during the New Kingdom period (~1450–1050 B.C.). During this period, immigrants and locals interacted and influenced c…
Assessing the Impact of Holocene Climate Change on Bioavailable Strontium Within the Nile River Valley
The impact of the climate drying during the Holocene within the Nile River Valley System (NRVS) has been the focus of recent debate in the archaeological community. It is argued that the increased contribution of aeolian material from the neighboring Sahara Desert during the last ~7,000 years has changed the isotope compositions of bioavailable Sr relative to the geological background and thus hinders provenance investigations of human remains wi…
