ABSTRACT
Due to the lack of the researches of Archaeology on the West area of Shendi, we made an Archaeological Survey on the area of Matamma.The sites which are recorded through the above mentioned survey which was carried out in Matamma, show that there were no Meroitic settlement sites, as these were related to Turkish and Mehadiaperiods , in addition to that there are few Meroitic cemeteries or might be post Meroitic. Probably, there are some Meroitic sites that either are removed by the human activities in the area, or, perhaps, they did not exist since the beginning of the civilization.
