Journal Title: Polish Archaeology in the Mediterranean - Year 2018, Vol 27, Issue 1
Abstract
The first archaeological season of the Early Makuria Research Project at Tanqasi, which encompassed the exploration of five tombs in different parts of the extensive tumulus field (16, 23, 46, 52, and 179), yielded an assemblage of pottery vessels, as well as a metal bowl. The material dates from the late Meroitic, post-Meroitic and early Makurian periods.<br/><br/>
