Cemeteries were readily visible features in the landscape either marked by tumuli or box graves. Most appeared to date either to the Post-Meroitic, Medieval or Islamic/Modern periods. However, at least one cemetery yielded pottery of the Kerma Classique (c. 1750 - 1500 BC).

Large tumuli are found on the alluvial fill of the palaeochannels and on the wadi margins.

An unusual tumulus type was this ‘egg-shaped’ variety with the pointed end much higher than the rest of the monument. The sides were carefully revetted in stone.

A number of medieval settlements were discovered, this one on Mis Island with a rectangular stone-walled enclosure of uncertain use.

The Amri to Kirbekan Survey has highlighted the immense richness of the region in archaeological remains and the potential for further work is considerable. The results underline those of the other missions who have worked upstream of Jebel Barkal, that the Fourth Caratact zone, rather than being occupied only as a refuge, actually was densily populated throughout at least the last several millennia. Evidence for Post-Meroitic occupation (if that is the date of many of the tumuli located) and of the Medieval period was particularly abundant. Of especial interest is the evidence for the Kerma Culture in this region and of Pan-Grave pottery.
