  • Angelika Lohwasser Tracks in the Bayuda Desert. the Project 'Wadi
    Originalveröffentlichung in: Frank Förster und Heiko Riemer (Hg.), Desert Road Archaeology in Ancient Egypt and Beyond (Africa Parehistorica 27), Köln 2013, S. 425-435 Angelika Lohwasser Tracks in the Bayuda desert. The project 'Wadi Abu Dom Itinerary' (W.A.D.I.) Abstract From the archaeological point of view, the Bayuda desert is an unknown part of the northern Sudan. The pro­ ject 'Wadi Abu Dom Itinerary' focuses on the investigation of the so­called 'King's Road' between the two capitals of the kingdom of Kush, Meroe and Napata. The journey between these two centres is repeatedly mentioned in Napatan royal texts, and the road is considered to be the major trade route through the Bayuda 2 as well. Having now the survey data of altogether 70 km along the road, we began to recognise a pattern in site distribution. The permanent and seasonal settlement sites are concentrated at the wadi banks. Here the four known stone structures, namely Umm Ruweim I and II, Quweib and Umm Khafour, are situated. Al­ though they used to be interpreted as caravansaries, their function is as yet unknown. Near the wadi banks we found remains of huts and sites which we would explain as camp sites of nomads. In the hinterland, the archaeologically discernible human activity is restricted to travelling: we found tethering stones at camel and donkey tracks, sometimes with small fireplaces nearby. In the overall pattern we can very clearly distinguish the 'land for settling' from the 'land for crossing'. Keywords: archaeological survey, 'King's Road', shortcut, trade route, stone structure, northern Sudan, Kush, Napatan period, Meroitic period 1.

It is based on the accessions list acquired through our participation in the national OCLC on-line cataloging system. Due to technical reasons two separate lists are created. The first is an alphabetical list by main entry. These entries were assigned unique USGS subject headings that do not print in the OCLC system. They are therefore arranged alphabetically by main entry. The second list is by subject heading. It is subarranged by main entry. Each entry usually consists of four elements: subject, author/titie, imprint, and call number. EXAMPLE: Subject : EARTHQUAKES TENNESSEE COVINGTON. Author/title: Metzger, Ann Garrecht. Covington, TN earthquake, February, 1981 . Imprint: Memphis : Tennessee Earthquake Information Center, Memphis State University, 1981. Call number: S(239) Sp32 no. 5 Call numbers prefixed with "M" indicate an item is part of the map collection: M(410)4 B148s Call numbers ending with D only, MP only, or F only, indicate that one of these regional libraries, Denver, Menlo Park, or Flagstaff, is the sole holder of an item: 210(252) H178m D only Occasionally an item will not be assigned a call number, receiving instead an alpha abbreviation, such as PAM, i.e pamphlet, or qPAM indicating an oversize pamphlet.
