Archaeological and architectural evidence of social change in 13th–17th century Dongola
Journal Title: Polish Archaeology in the Mediterranean - Year 2018, Vol 27, Issue 1
Abstract
The article reviews the body of archaeological and architectural evidence for social transformation taking place in Dongola during the period from the end of the 13th through the end of the 17th century, the uppermost stratum uncovered by Polish archaeologists excavating the ruins of the medieval seat of Makurian kings. Domestic architecture from the late 14th through 17th centuries and the artifactual finds from these dwellings, which were built on top of the ruins of the Makurian capital, demonstrate the character and extent of changes in the education, culture and religion of the inhabitants of the city from the Funj period<br/><br/>
