We explore the prehistory of Dongola Reach – a key area in the Middle Nile Valley – an eternal corridor of migrations and exchange of ideas. We explore the oldest camps of hunters/gatherers, settlements and cemeteries of the first cattle keepers and proto-cities of native African civilizations. We are an international team of professionals. We open development paths for new generations of scientists. The synergy of humanities and natural sciences is part of our everyday activities. We operate from the “Banganarti” Archaeological Station adjacent to the medieval body and soul healing center. We act locally, thinking globally.
