Representative samples from the sites of Shaqadud Midden and Shaqadud S21 at the British Museum have also been re-examined. The aims of these activities were threefold: to test the reliability and cohesiveness of and patterning in the Shaqadud collection through the expanded application of attribute analysis, to determine if Caneva's observations of décor patterns on Jebel Moya's Late Mesolithic sherds could be replicated and to obtain better visibility into the nature of its pottery assemblage from this time, and to use the result...

Through this study I am also seeking to evaluate the field work (Archaeological and Ethnographic) conducted in the area of Arkaweet and Sinkat town, and Suakin port, then to put a plan for the managing and protecting the archaeological sites and ethnographic materials. Therefore I will follow or apply a number of approaches in this study such as description, survey analysis of the sites and its contents as well a comparison will be made between the results of the present study with the results of the...

The historical sources will also be compared with the study findings. 189 the archaeology and heritage of the sudanese red sea region

Many sites have been discovered, most of which belong to the Neolithic period and others to the Meroitic period. The results of the survey have an aesthetic value through the sites discovered, which will significantly contribute to Archaeological studies in the White Nile region.

Despite the presumed discontinuity between the Medieval and Post Medieval Periods, there are indications of the interrelation between the cultural, social and religious domains of these periods. Some historical, geographical and archaeological resources have discussed this period in an attempt to define some of its aspects. This paper details and analyzes these sources and studies.
