The present publication follows vol. I from 1984 - the results of a
comprehensive archaeological investigation of two tumulus cemeteries of
Late Roman and Early Byzantine Period explored by the Czechoslovak
Institute of Egyptology in the scope of the UNESCO-organized salvage
campaign of Nubua by the waters of the High Aswan Dam. This second
volume evaluates the human skeletal remains of 558 individuals from the
cemetery at Wadi Qitna and 35 individuals from the cemetery at
Kalabsha-South. This volume touches upon the complex social and ethnic
processes taking place in the region between Egypt and Nubia.
