Journal Title: Polish Archaeology in the Mediterranean - Year 2015, Vol 0, Issue 1
Abstract
The four seasons, two in 2012 and two in 2013, carried out in ancient Dongola by an expedition from the Polish Centre of Mediterranean Archaeology, University of Warsaw, were devoted to continuing excavations in a number of areas: the fortifications on the Citadel and houses from the Funj period (17th–18th century) outside of the fortifications; site SWN on the Citadel, including Building B.I (Palace of Ioannes) and Building B.V (church); and the monastery complex on Kom H, encompassing the monastic church, sanctuary of Anna, gates to the monastery for monks and laity, finally the commemorative building of the Dongolan bishops with three crypts where the third of the crypts was revisited to study the burials from an anthropological perspective. In late 2013, a new Qatar–Sudan Archaeological Project (No. 10) was launched with fieldwork concentrated on the Mosque Building and within the Citadel.<br/><br/>
