VIII), this essential two-volume reference presents a comprehensive analysis of mortuary and settlement remains uncovered at three critical sites: Qustul Cemetery Q, Ballana Cemetery B, and a Ballana Settlement. It offers an unparalleled window into the funerary practices, material culture, and social organization of the Meroitic period in Lower Nubia.\n\nDrawing on a rich corpus of site plans, detailed figures, registers, and plates, Williams explores the complex interplay between indigenous Nubian traditions and external cultural influences during the transition from Meroitic to post-Meroitic phases. An indispensable resource for scholars of African antiquity, Egyptology, and ancient archaeology, this definitive study sheds profound light on Nubian identity, society, and historical continuity along the Nile Valley.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49130814439643,"sku":"2026200012013-SECONDHAND","price":85.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/38c02506-f40c-4e2d-aec4-3d7d5ff71422.png?v=1786590624","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200012013-secondhand-excavations-between-abu-simbel-the-sudan-frontier-volume-viii-meroitic-remains-from-qustul-vol-1-text-figures-vol-ii-registers-plates","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
