The Archaeology of Nauri in the Third Cataract of the Nile: during the ancient, the Medieval, and Post Medieval periods

Abstract

This article presents the results of the University of Khartoum archaeological project in Nuri, located in the Mahas region of Northern Sudan, for the seasons 2015-2018. The research findings shed light on the history of the region, specifically the Christian and Ottoman remains, which are clearly represented in terms of settlement
and cemetery. The Christian remains at the site suggest an early Christianity that emerged with the arrival of the Aksumite kingdom under the leadership of King Aizan, who invaded the region of Meroe around 250 AD.
Additionally, the article discusses the ancient place names resulting from historical entanglements in the region
