Abstract

The city state of Meroe in central Sudan flourished between 750 BC and AD 350. The cemetery site of Gabati lies 40 km to the north of Meroe, on the east bank of the Nile and was in use throughout the Meroitic and the medieval periods. Its excavation by David Edwards and his team has shed considerable light on the little known events and population movements in this area after the end of the Meroitic. The wealth of finds is presented here - from Meroitic graffiti, jewellery and glass, to post-Meroitic and medieval basketry, grindstones, and pottery.
