The paper reports the main results of the field research carried out in the western part of Jebel Sabaloka in the spring 2019. A portfolio of methods and approaches was applied to overcome the challenges posed by the differing degree of alteration of the late prehistoric sites in central Sudan through diverse C- and N-transforms.
In addition to surface research and small-scale excavation, typological, morphological and technological study of pottery and groundstone artefacts from selected sites was performed with the aim to assess inter- and intra-site variability in the region.
