About
My PhD was undertaken as a collaborative venture between the University of Leicester and the British Museum. It will undertake fundamental work relating to the development of Bronze Age Nubia (northern Sudan), utilising largely unpublished data including information gathered during recent rescue fieldwork in the region (Merowe Dam Archaeological Salvage Project [MDASP], concluded in 2008).
My research will focus on several cemetery sites excavated during the Amri to Kirbekan Survey which span across several phases of Kerma development. Situated in the area surrounding the 4th Nile cataract, these provide a strong sample from which to test and enhance existing ceramic typologies and seriation relating to early Bronze Age practice in the Sudan.
