Summary
A comprehensive catalogue of pottery from the site of Kawa, Northern Dongola Reach, reveals unique insights into the daily life and burial practices of the Kushite civilization during the Napatan and Meroitic periods. The study, based on excavations conducted between 1997 and 2018 by the Sudan Archaeological Research Society, meticulously documents pottery forms, decoration, marks, and fabric, providing a contextualized collection that sheds light on activity patterns in this region. Notably, it includes a detailed analysis of Napatan amphorae from Building F1 and cemetery remains at R18, contributing significantly to our understanding of this understudied period.
