Gematon: Living and Dying in a Kushite Town on the Nile, Volume IV: Living and Dying in a Kushite Town on the Nile, Volume IV: Bioarchaeology


Overview

This volume presents findings on the bioarchaeological remains from the Sudan Archaeological Research Society's 1997-2018 excavations at Kawa, focusing on human and animal bones. Human skeletons were carefully excavated, documented, and preserved by physical anthropologists and local experts, while animal bones, though fragile and fragmented, were examined by archaeozoologists. Additional material, assessed post-publication of Volume I, is highlighted here for a comprehensive understanding of Kawa's cemetery and broader archaeological context.
