Post-Meroitic (‘X-Group’) and Christian Burials at Sesibi,Sudanese Nubia. The Excavations of 1937

Abstract

Publication of a small group of ‘X-Group’ and Christian graves at Sesibi, excavated by the Egypt Exploration Society in January 1937. This is the most southerly site where typically ‘X-Group’ material has been found. A range of practices can be seen which provide a useful insight into the transition from typically pagan to Christian burial rites during the early sixth century AD.
