“…Therefore, parallel to the seminal work of W.Y. Adams, the research on local ceramics conducted to date (Pluskota 2001, 2005; Danys 2016 and in preparation) serve as a basis for periodization of the ceramics from Courtyard A. In addition to Adams’s chronological system, the assemblages stratigraphically recovered during excavations in Dongola permit to build a more precise and site-specific dating sequence, especially useful when dealing with undecorated fragments.…”

The paper presents and discusses a series of radiocarbon (14C) dates from a medieval Nubian monastery found on Kom H of Old Dongola, the capital of the kingdom of Makuria located in modern-day Sudan. The monastery was founded in the 6th–7th century AD and although it probably ceased to function in the 14th century, the site remained occupied until the beginning of the 15th century. The investigated courtyard of the monastery was in use from the 11th to the 14th century, as indicated by the ceramics and 14C analysis results presented here. The dates under consideration are the first published series of 14C dates from this site, which is of crucial importance for historical research on medieval Nubian Christianity and monasticism. They permit to begin building an absolute chronological framework for research on the archaeological finds from the site and region. A group of finds in particular need of such a framework are ceramics, and the implications of the 14C dates for pottery assemblages found in the dated contexts are discussed. The conclusions summarize the significance of the datings for the history of the site.

“…The only traceable difference in the composition of the assemblages is the exclusive occurrence of local Nile mud smoking pipes ( Fig. 16a, d, e) in the district with wattle-and-daub houses, whilst imported Ottoman pipes (Danys & Wyżgoł 2018) were frequently found in the quarter within the town walls. The layout of the houses also does not differ significantly from that of houses made of sun-dried bricks.…”

Abstract Excavations at Old Dongola in 2018/2019 led to the discovery of a quarter of wattle-and-daub houses located outside the town walls. The houses, dated to the 17th − 18th century, are arranged in compounds and visibly differ from other dwellings. This paper aims to identify the functional and social organisation of domestic space, based primarily on the analysis of access and activity areas. It sheds light on the relations of private and public space as well as gender divisions. The paper also addresses the question of the identity of dwellers and the social structure of the town in the Funj period.
