The Nubian Past by David L. Edwards
An Archaeology of the Sudan
This book offers a concise synthesis of Nubia’s long human past, combining archaeological evidence and historical sources to trace developments from prehistoric settlement through the rise and fall of the kingdoms of Napata and Meroe and into Christian and later Islamic periods; it examines material culture, burial practices, architecture and art, and the region’s political and economic ties with Egypt and the wider Red Sea world, while discussing the methodological challenges of reconstructing Nubian history and the continuity and change of local identities over time.
