The Nubian Past: An Archaeology of the Sudan
Autor David N. Edwardsen Limba Engleză Paperback – 29 iul 2004
The geographical range of the book extends through the Nubian north, the Middle Nile Basin, and includes what has become the modern Sudan. Using period-based chapters, the region's long-term history is traced and a potential for a more broadly framed and inclusive 'historical archaeology' of Sudan's more recent past is explored.
This text breaks new ground in its move beyond the Egyptocentric and more traditional culture-histories of Nubia, often isolated in Africanist research, and it relocates the early civilizations and their archaeology within their Sudanic Africa context.
This is a captivating study of the area's history, and will inform and enthral all students and researchers of Archaeology and Egyptology.
