Armelagos spent thirty years at various sites in Sudan searching for ancient Nubian civilizations that gave rise to what we now know as the upper Nile civilizations. Most of these sites are now underwater, due to being inundated when the Aswan Dam was built on the Upper Nile and flooded the ancient cities of Wadi Halfa and Kulubnarti. While hundreds of articles have been written about the research at these sites, this monograph, where Armelagos invited his former student Dennis Van Gerven to collaborate with him, represents the first attempt to explore all of the biocultural relationships between the villages, the people, and the region. 606 $aExcavations (Archaeology)$zNubia 606 $aExcavations (Archaeology)$zSudan 607 $aNubia$xHistory 607 $aNubia$xAntiquities 615 0$aExcavations (Archaeology) 615 0$aExcavations (Archaeology) 676 $a939/.78 700 $aArmelagos$b George J.$01659243 702 $aVan Gerven$b Dennis P. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910824099003321 996 $aLife and death on the Nile$94013809 997 $aUNINA
