TOMB BUILDING TRADITION IN LOWER NUBIA FROM THE MEROITIC AGE TO AFTER CHRISTIANIZATION

Summary/Abstract: The article considers types of graves found to be typical of the Meroitic, post-Meroitic and Christian Nubian kingdom periods and recapitulates the different typologies published by various excavators over the last century. Research has produced differentiated data sets for given areas, thus confirming the multi-ethnic character of lower Nubia. Nonetheless, the author opts for a continuity of sepulchral traditions.
