The Oxford Handbook of Ancient Nubia

Host:

Abstract The Oxford Handbook of Ancient Nubia presents fifty-five studies by specialists in the archaeology and history of a large region in Africa, centered on the Middle Nile from Aswan to the confluence of the two Niles, extending from the Red Sea to the modern western borders of Sudan and Egypt. The volume is divided into three parts, the first dealing with the historiographical background and environment, the second, largest part tracing the careers of cultures, people, states, and empires from the Paleolithic to the early modern period, and the third, presenting topics interest in industry, society, and Nubian history in modern Sudan. While there were major cultural continuities in this vast region, including ancient Kush, which in different forms continued from the third millennium BCE well into the first millennium CE, there were many other peoples active and dwelling in the area. Such a complex region requires a diversity of scholars to provide a comprehensive introduction to Nubia.
