Archaeological expeditions to Nubia information


An expedition of three, including Professor J.H.Breasted, occurred in November 1905.[1] Later Chicago University expeditions occurred in the seasons 1962–63 and 1963–64; excavations between Abu Simbel and the Sudan border.[2][3] The Coxe expeditions occurred in 1907–10 under the direction of D.R.McIver and L.Wooley. A later joint expedition with the Peabody Museum of Natural History sought to protect artefacts from rising water level's as a result of the building of the Aswan Low Dam.[4][5]

Colorado University expeditions occurred during 1963–64. Site 6-B-36 located in the proximity of Wadi Halfa is identified as a cemetery complex. The site activity ranged from 2 to 5 kilometres North of the wadi.[6] The university excavated cemeteries of Meroitic, X-Group,[7] and Christian (Armelegos 1968).[8][9] Site 24-V-13 located at Argin village is documented as containing objects of ceramic industry.[10] Michigan University studied the people of the villages of Abu Simbel and Ballana from 1966–1986 onward.[11] The Tombos expedition led by Stuart Tyson Smith (UCSB) occurred during 2000.[12]
