Summary:

"Current Research in Nubian Archaeology offers a compilation of scientific and archaeological reflections on the daily life and health of ancient Nubians. The volume developed out of the first Sudan Studies Conference, hosted by Durham University, UK, in May 2017. The conference created a platform for interdisciplinary discourse between scholars which resulted in the new and innovative approaches to a wide range of topics, including bioarchaeology, ethno-archaeology and pottery that comprise this volume"-- Provided by publisher.
