The Archaeology of Urbanism in Ancient Egypt
Mersa/Wadi Gawasis and Ancient Egyptian Maritime Trade in the Red Sea
Mersa/Wadi Gawasis was the site of an ancient Egyptian harbor on the Red Sea, which was mainly used during the Middle Kingdom (ca. 2055–1650 b.c.e.) for seafaring voyages to Punt and Bia-Punt. Excavations at the site from 2003–2011 have uncovered ceremonial structures located along a cliff above the shoreline, and eight man-made caves/galleries, which were mainly used for storage. No permanent architecture has been found at the site, suggesting t…
The chronology of Aksum (Tigrai, Ethiopia)
From 1993 to 2003 archaeological investigations were conducted on Bieta Giyorgis hill to the northwest of Aksum by the joint project of the University of Naples ‘L'Orientale’ and Boston University. One of the results of this project was to establish a detailed archaeological sequence and chronology for the development of the ancient capital, based on the dating of finds and radiocarbon dates from well defined archaeological contexts. Five phases …

The Proto-Aksumite Period
La période comprise entre le déclin de l'État pré-aksumite du Da 'amat (IVe - IIIe siècle av. JC) et l'essor du royaume d'Aksum (Ier siècle après JC) est mal connue. Les fouilles archéologiques menées à Bieta Giyorgis, près d'Aksum, permettent de mettre en évidence un stade intermédiaire (proto-aksumite), qui opère une rupture avec la phase antérieure et annonce les réalisations culturelles de la période aksumite
The Aksum Archaeological Area
This invaluable compendium, published by the Istituto Universitario Orientale in Naples, arises out of research undertaken jointly by that institution and Boston University under the direction of Rodolfo Fattovich and Kathryn Bard. That it is written in English will greatly facilitate its use in Ethiopia. Aksum, in the highlands of Tigray in northern Ethiopia, was the capital of a major state during the first seven or eight centuries A.C. Its loc…

Archaeological Investigations at Bieta Giyorgis (Aksum), Ethiopia
The first archaeological excavations in Tigray, northern Ethiopia, since 1974 were conducted in 1993 at the site of Ona Enda Aboi Zewgé near Aksum. A large stela field associated with artificial stone platforms and human burials was investigated. Preliminary results indicate that this Aksumite cemetery dates from the 1st century B.C. to the 4th century A.C. Evidence of Late Pre-Aksumite occupation was discovered beneath one of the stone platforms…

The archaeology of the Eastern Sahel, Sudan
On the Argument From Ceramics to History
The assumption that major changes in pottery closely reflect change in other areas of culture has been widely accepted by prehistorians, but it has seldom been tested against independent historical or ethnographic evidence. It is here suggested, on the basis of dated pottery types and of independently dated historical developments, that there is not necessarily a close connection between the two. The evidence for this conclusion is derived from h…
