Carolin Johansson, Department of Archaeology and Ancient History, Uppsala University, Box 626 SE-75126 Uppsala, Sweden. Abstract The Scandinavian Joint Expedition to Sudanese Nubia (SJE) was one of the substantial contributions of crucial salvage archaeology within the International Nubian Campaign which was pursued in conjunction with the building of the High Dam at Aswan in the early 1960’s. A large quantity of archaeological data was collected by the SJE in a continuous area of northernmost Sudan and published during the subsequent decades. The present study aimed at transferring the geographical aspects of that data into a digital format thus enabling spatial enquires on the archaeological information to be performed in a computerised manner within a geographical information system (GIS). The landscape of the concession area, which is now completely submerged by the water masses of Lake Nasser, was digitally reconstructed in order to approximate the physical environment which the human societies of ancient Nubia inhabited.

  • Dentition of a Mesolithic Population from Wadi Halfa, Sudan '
    Dentition of a Mesolithic Population from Wadi Halfa, Sudan ' DAVID L. GREENEP GEORGE H. EWING3 AND GEORGE J. ARMELAGOS 2 University of Wyoming, Laramie, Wyoming; 3 University of Colorado, Boulder, Colorado; University of Utah, Salt Lake City, Utah ABSTRACT The dentition of a Mesolithic population (8,000-11,000 years old) from Wadi Halfa, Sudan, can be characterized as morphologically complex, massive and relatively free from pathology except that associated with extreme wear. Maxillary incisors show shoveling. All of the maxillary molars show some develop- ment of the hypocone. Supernumerary cusps appear frequently. Almost one-half of the second lower molars observed show distally located third cusps. Over one-half of the maxillary third molars show an extra cusp. A high percentage of mandibular molars show six cusps. Overall the teeth from this population compare favorably in size with those of an Australian aborigine tribe and are slightly larger than the teeth of the Neanderthaloids from Skuhl. The teeth show wear of a degree greater than that found in present day Eskimo or Australian aborigine groups. This data may be intcrpreted as indicating that this Mesolithic group was subjected to rigorous selective pressures favoring large and/or morphologically complex teeth. This pressure was apparently intensive wear, presumably caused by the inclusion of large amounts of grit in the diet through the eating of vegetable food macerated on coarse grinding stones. During the 1963-1964 field season of to the southeast. There was also a large the University of Colorado's Nubian Expe- burial complex in which orientation of the dition, a series of 39 permineralized fossil skulls varied from east to south.

  • The Effects of Relocation on Nubian Women's Health
    99 The Effects of Relocation on Nubian Women’s Health Hanna Paesler “[U]prooting or resettling people is a dramatic human event that creates stress, produces stress reaction, and requires the use of strategies to cope with a wide range of pressures. [...F]orced migration or resettlement constitutes an abrupt form of social change. It is disrup- tive, occasionally tragic, and in many cases generates irreversible problems.”1 Introduction Community relocation schemes have become a worldwide phenom- enon. This quote shows their dramatic effects and some of its prob- lems. No matter how much governments campaign for the people affected, this political decision always entails an abrupt change to their living environment, their habits and lifestyle and their whole culture. This was the situation of the Nubians in southern Egypt and northern Sudan when the Egyptian government decided to build a high dam south of Aswan and to relocate the Nubians. In the literature on Nubian relocation in 1963 and 1964, it is strik- ing that there were many promises made to the Nubians concerning their quality of life. The governments of Egypt and Sudan estab- lished committees with the objective of considering cultural aspects in planning the relocation, with an expected improvement in living standards.2 This means that several studies on Nubian culture were incorporated into the planning. Ethnologists advised the commit- 1 Fahim, Egyptian Nubians, p. vii. 2 Ibid, p. 35 and Fahim, Nubian Resettlement in the Sudan, pp. 3–4. Though reckoning their approach in retrospect, one is tempted to suspect that they pursued the goal of “optimizing” Nubian culture to their own agenda.

This museum is thought to be the counter-part of the Nubia Museum of Aswan (Egypt) ope- ned in 1997. Both museums involve the UNESCO as an actor of the Nubian heritage conservation since the 1950’s. The main purpose of this article is to discuss the raison d’être of the future Museum of Wadi Halfa which aims not only to be a place to display objects but a rescue mechanism for intangible heritage of the Nubians living in the area and their reconnection, through the objects, with their past from which they were divorced by the construction of the High Dam of Aswan.
