]]>One of the largest pastoralist cemeteries in Africa, with over 3,000 burials excavated from a shallow valley on the isolated rocky hill of Jebel Moya in the Gezira plain of central Sudan, between the White Nile and Blue Nile rivers south of Khartoum. The site was first excavated by Henry Wellcome between 1911 and 1914 in one of the largest archaeological excavations ever conducted in Africa at that time, employing thousands of workers. The cemetery dates primarily to the 1st millennium BCE and early 1st millennium CE [Old Kingdom Period], though earlier occupation phases exist. The Wellcome Collection has records and photographs from the excavations, linked from our page.
