Abstract

This book review discusses the first volume in the series announced by the Sudan Archaeological Research Society to present the results of their work within the Merowe Dam Archaeological Salvage Project. It places particular emphasis on how the theme of the volume—“Homescapes”—is expressed in the context of the Archaeology of the Fourth Nile Cataract, with a focus on the homescapes of the Manasir, the people who lived in this region.
