Prehistoric and Historical Burial Sites in Sudan: Theory and Methods of Interpretation

Abstract

This study aims to present theoretical and methodological models and interpretive data applied to the study of burial sites in Sudan dates to the prehistoric and historical periods (specifically between 13,000 BC and 580 AD). The study indicates the limitations of the archaeological methods and theories used as research foundations for studying these burial sites, despite their fundamental importance in exploring ancient social practices. Moreover, the study discusses the views of some early researchers who relied on the principle of the theory of cultural change, diffusion and migration in interpreting early burial sites in Sudan..
