Publisher's Synopsis
This edited volume brings together studies on the management of resources in Bronze Age Nubia by scholars working in various parts of Sudan. The collected papers cover a wide range of topics, including, among others, the extraction and processing of gold from the Nubian deserts and its transformation into objects. This volume includes fresh results from current fieldwork and contributes to filling a gap in our knowledge concerning how resources were extracted, managed and utilised in complex ways, beyond Egyptocentric perspectives focusing on the colonial exploration of Nubia.
