Since 2005 the Aswan-Kom Ombo Archaeological Project (AKAP), currently a joint venture between University of Bologna and Yale University, has been researching ancient Nubian evidence north of the First Cataract, both along the Nile and in the desert hinterland. A great number of sites related to a Nubian presence in the area have been recovered and often rescue excavated. Chronologically they cover a long timeframe, from prehistory to modern times. Sites related to the A-Group and the Pan-Grave cultures, as well as to the Neolithic and Meroitic phases, have been already reported in previous publications. In this short report we would like to preliminarily present three Nubian sites found in the past two field seasons.

Abstract
Since 2005 the Aswan-Kom Ombo Archaeological Project (AKAP), currently a joint venture between University of Bologna and Yale University, has been researching ancient Nubian evidence north of the First Cataract, both along the Nile and in the desert hinterland. A great number of sites related to a Nubian presence in the area have been recovered and often rescue excavated. Chronologically they cover a long timeframe, from prehistory to modern times. Sites related to the A-Group and the Pan-Grave cultures, as well as to the Neolithic and Meroitic phases, have been already reported in previous publications. In this short report we would like to preliminarily present three Nubian sites found in the past two field seasons.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
