The prehistoric landscape in the western part of Jebel Sabaloka at the 6th Nile Cataract features 32 sites of early and mid-Holocene dating. Most of the sites occupy elevated positions on granite outcrops that dot the north-western and south-western periphery of the mountain.
Here we report on the main findings and field observations made during the 2017 and 2018 field campaigns focused on the exploration of one of the most significant prehistoric sites in the research area - Fox Hill (SBK.W-20). The findings confirm the exceptional significance of this site for the study of cultural processes and strategies of Sub-Saharan populations in the context of climatic and environmental changes in Northeast Africa from the late Pleistocene to mid-Holocene.
