A number of burials excavated by the Oriental Institute Nubian
Expedition revealed pottery, objects, and burial customs that are dated
to the Twenty-fifth Dynasty and Napatan periods (ca. 750-200 b.c.), a
poorly known phase in Lower Nubia. The rulers of this great age of Kush
left monuments in the region, but almost nothing could be found of the
ordinary people. The burials are compared with others published from the
region to reconstruct a substantial period of settlement in Lower Nubia.
