Full Description

This volume documents the Sudan Archaeological Research Society's extensive excavations and surveys at Kawa, a prominent ancient site in Sudan's Northern Dongola Reach. Conducted between 1997 and 2018, this research involved detailed topographical mapping and excavation across multiple sites, including urban areas and the Kushite cemetery. Artefacts recovered, ranging from pottery shards to architectural remnants like dressed stone blocks, reflect diverse material culture and ritual practices.
