Meinarti I

The Late Meroitic, Ballaņa and Transitional Occupation


This is the first of four volumes devoted to the results of the Sudan Antiquities Service excavations on the island of Meinarti at the Second Cataract in Northern Sudan. Part of the international campaign to save the monuments of Nubia, the work was carried out during two field seasons, between February 1963 and June 1964. One half of the 12.5m high settlement mound was totally excavated revealing occupation spanning from the Late Meroitic period until the 19th century.
