Description
The four-yearly International Conference of the Society for Nubian
Studies is currently the most important scientific meeting on the
archaeology and the ancient history of Nubia. The 13th session took
place in 2014 in Neuchatel (Switzerland) and its Proceedings contain 95
peer-reviewed papers distributed in 13 chronological or thematic
sections, evidencing the breadth of subjects covered: general synthesis,
prehistory, protohistory, Egypt, Napata, Meroe, Middle ages, epigraphy
and linguistics, cultural heritage, fortifications, bioanthropology, man
and animal, survey and fieldwork.
The subjects treated are a
reflexion of the scientific and cultural heritage issues facing Nubian
archaeology, which is one of the most dynamic and innovative of the
African continent. It is today confronted with the numerous challenges
of the 21st century, which include the coordination between economic
development and the protection of the environment and heritage,
maintaining and encouraging preventive archaeology, as well as the
valorisation of sites in the light of growing public interest.
