The aim of the workshop was to introduce basic concepts and tools used by archaeologists in field surveys and data processing. Researchers from the University of Neelain, University of Khartoum, University of Bahri and National Corporation for Antiquities and Museums of Sudan took part in the workshop. The workshop was led by prof. dr hab. W\u0142odzimierz R\u0105czkowski and dr Lidia \u017buk.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n October 12, 2021 – prof. Maciej Kurcz visited the Juliusz S\u0142owacki Primary School in Cracow.

During the following lessons, the pupils made postcards from Cracow with greetings for the children from Soba and gave recorded a song that everyone sang at the end of the meeting.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n On the 10th of October 2021, prof. Maciej Kurcz gave a presentation entitled “Aioba destroyed Soba<\/a>‘ during the Silesian Science Fair in Katowice.<\/p>\n In cultural memory, each end (of the kingdom, dynasty, epoch) in history is often associated with some extraordinary story. Frequently it takes the form of a legend wrapped around the characters who directly led the ‘old world’ to destruction, thus assuming the role of a mythical scapegoat. It is enough to mention, for example, the history of Troy and Paris, but also our liberum veto and the nobleman Sici\u0144ski. The collapse of the Nubian medieval kingdom of Alwa – located at the confluence of the White and Blue Nile in North-Eastern Africa – had a dramatic end and was associated with one person – a woman named Aioba. According to oral tradition, the fall of Soba – the capital of this once powerful Christian kingdom – was committed by a woman who, by deception and allegedly the weapon characteristic of every woman (‘cupid’s arrows’), committed a bloody deal with the ruler and his court. Should we really treat this story as historical? What does this folk tale really tell us? These are the questions that I will try to answer. The lecture is related to my current ethnoarchaeological research in contemporary Soba – a city on the outskirts of Khartoum, the capital of Sudan.<\/p>\n On the 9th of September 2021, during the 14th International Conference of Archaeological Prospection (8-10.09.2021, https:\/\/icap2021.sciencesconf.org\/<\/a>), Robert Ryndziewicz will present the results of a large-scale geophysical survey in Soba.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n During the 25th Biennial Meeting of the Society of Africanist Archaeologists (17th Aug 2021, virtual meeting) Joanna Ciesielska presented a paper entitled ‘A first look at the population of medieval Soba (Sudan): the cemetery on Kom OS’, for details visit SAFA website https:\/\/www.arch.ox.ac.uk\/safa-2021<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n At the conference entitled ‘Digital Crossroads’ (14-18.06.2021), organized by the Computer Applications & Quantitative Methods in Archeology Association (CAA), Mariusz Drzewiecki presented a paper entitled: ‘Potential of satellite imagery analysis for archaeological heritage studies and management in the suburbs of Khartoum (Sudan)’. The recording of the presentation can be viewed at https:\/\/youtu.be\/sQzcNNMQ-XY?t=2258<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n During the conference ‘Poles on the Nile’ (21-23.06.2021, online), two presentations on research in Soba will be given:<\/p>\n Mariusz Drzewiecki – ‘Studies on the spatial organization of the medieval Soba – concept, first results, and perspectives’;<\/p>\n Robert Ryndziewcz – ‘Non-invasive prospection of Soba’.<\/p>\n The introduction to both papers can be found on the website Poles on the Nile (http:\/\/polacynadnilem.uw.edu.pl\/misje\/sezony-2019-2021\/polskie-misje-w-sudanie-w-sezonach-2019-2021\/soba-organizacja-przestrzenna-sredniowiecznej-stolicy-nad-nilem-blekitnym\/<\/a>).<\/p>\n <\/p>\n We invite you to watch the webinar “Kontekst” prepared by the editors of “Archeologia \u017bywa” (Polish popular science journal) on the subject of “Soba and medieval Africa”. The meeting took place on May 6, 2021 and was attended by: Rados\u0142aw Biel (editor of Archeologia \u017bywa), Maciej Kurcz (ethnologist from the University of Silesia), Robert Ryndziewicz (geophysics from the Polish Academy of Sciences) and Mariusz Drzewiecki (archaeologist from the University of Warsaw).<\/p>\n <\/p>\n On the 17th of April 2021, the seminar at the PCMA UW Research Centre in Cairo featured research by PCMA scholarship holder Joanna Ciesielska. She presented on the subject of ‘Preliminary investigation of population diversity in the capital of the medieval kingdom of Alwa’.<\/p>\n Abstract: In the sixth century CE Nubia, approximately the territory of modern northern Sudan and southern Egypt, was divided into three kingdoms: Nobadia, Makuria and Alwa. Soba, the capital of the southernmost kingdom of Alwa was located at the heart of modern Sudan, at the confluence of the White Nile and the Blue Nile. Situated at a crossroads of the major routes connecting Ethiopia and the Red Sea, Kordofan and Darfur tribes, Eastern desert peoples, and the entire extent of the Nile valley, the city was probably a mosaic of cultures and ethnicities. According to Arab travellers, who visited the city over the thousand years of its existence, Soba was a vibrant, truly cosmopolitan city with envoys of major political powers finding their way across the inhospitable desert areas of northern Sudan to visit the kings of Alwa.<\/p>\n During archaeological fieldwork in Soba in 2019\/2020 excavation season, 23 burials were uncovered at mound OS in the northern part of the site. Uncovered funerary features showed an unusual diversity in the manner of burial. A variety of burial practices may suggest that the deceased might have come from different backgrounds, representing various cultures, ethnic and religious groups. Preliminary analysis of observed diversity, in the context of previous archaeological research conducted at Soba, as well as various written sources, suggests growing cultural diversity towards the tenth-eleventh centuries AD. Bioarchaeological research conducted so far constitutes the first phase of a large-scale investigation of population diversity in the medieval kingdom of Alwa.<\/p>\n On April 20, 2021, as part of the VI Congress of Polish Africanists<\/a>, three papers were delivered discussing the results of the research in Soba:<\/p>\n \u201eSoba miniona\u201d vs \u201eSoba wsp\u00f3\u0142czesna\u201d.

The talk entitled ‘The beginnings of Soba, the capital of the Kingdom of Alwa in the light of new archaeological research and radiocarbon dating’ was presented online during the conference ‘The Past has a Future!’ (23.03.2021). The paper with the same title has been accepted for publication in ‘Polish Archaeology in the Mediterranean<\/a>‘ (scheduled for publication at the end of 2021).<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/soba.uw.edu.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Polacy_nad_Nilem_2024-300x122.jpg\")
