Summary:	"Numerous research projects have studied the Nubian cultures of the Sudan and Egypt over the last thirty years, leading to significant new insights into all areas of the local history of this civilization, and paving the way for Ancient Nubia to become a research focus in contemporary northeast African archaeologies. Beginning with the findings of the Paleolithic Age, the way to the juxtaposition of pastoral societies and larger cultural spaces in the floodplain is presented. From Bronze Age cultures, the arc is stretched to the kingdoms of Napata and Meroe to the Christian kingdoms and the Islamic Early Modern period. The wide-ranging contributions to this handbook impart the current state of international research and illuminate the present understanding of the cultural history of this fascination region, including its interconnections to the natural world"-- Back cover.
