فخار العصور الحجرية المتاخرة ( الفخار المموج ) في اواسط السودان الاصل والانتشار

Abstract

Ever since Arkell's work in the sites of Early Khartoum and

Shaheinab in Central Sudan, the two types of C. W. L and D. W. L pottery

recovered, and their counterparts east and west of the Nile, formed

a diagnostic feature for what seems to be a "culture area" extending from

the Butana in the east to Mauritania in the west. This raised many

questions in regard to the chronology, origin, spread …..etc.

This thesis attempts to address these issues, but has been confronted

many obstacles: the data base from the sites suffers some inconsistent

classification , pottery types in the deposits were not clearly attributed to

specific levels, as do radiocarbon results in certain sites, and some dates

were published uncalibrated.

Yet we covered the sites with stratified deposits with each type of

pottery and those with both types. We also singled the sites with calibrated

dates attributed to each type.

This has resulted in two types of pottery having little in common,

each originated in a different area, spread in different directions and each

ceased in use at different times.
