Pottery from the White Nile : technical and cultural study of the archaeological prospection from Jebel Aulia to El Geteina (on the right bank of the white Nile)

Abstract

Pottery from the White Nil, technical and cultural study of the archaeological prospection from jebel Aulia to El Geteina (on the right bank of the White Nil), a fieldwork based research carried out in an area that strechtes along the eastern bank of the White Nil, from jabl Aulia in the north to the city of El Gateina in the south, and between the road linking Khratoum to Kosti to the east and the White Nil to the west. The White Nil is the main route linking the southern Sudan to the center and north. Little archaeological work has been done in this area, hence the importance of this study. The choice of this area was motivated by two reasons : one related to the threats of urban and agricultural development on archaeological sites without protection, the other to its loaction between the archaeological area of Khartoum and the archaeological sites of the White Nil. The objective of this study is to record and describe archaeologically and geographically sites in the region, and then analyze and make a typology of the pottery. We also seek an answer to the question regarding extensions of Meroe civilization in this region. These objectives will reveal later the extent of the link between the regions to the north and south of the country and the existence of a close link between the White Nil sites of Shabona, Rabak and Jabel Tomat with Neolithic. and Mesolithic sites of Khartoum and in particular their pottery. Some studies in the areas of El Geteina and El-Kawa showed the link between these areas and the Meroitic.
