Nubia
Drawing on the latest archaeological and textual discoveries, a revealing look at the rich and dynamic civilization of Nubia. Nubia, the often-overlooked southern neighbor of Egypt, has been home to groups of vibrant and adaptive peoples for millennia. This book explores the Nubians’ religious, social, economic, and cultural histories, from their nomadic origins during the Stone Ages to their rise to power during the Napatan and Meroitic periods, and it concludes with the recent struggles for diplomacy in North Sudan. Situated among the ancient superpowers of Egypt, Aksum, and the Greco-Roman world, Nubia’s connections with these cultures shaped the region’s history through colonialism and cultural entanglement. Sarah M. Schellinger presents the Nubians through their archaeological and textual remains, reminding readers that they were a rich and dynamic civilization in their own right.

Early Makuria Research Project. El-Zuma Cemetery (3-vol. set)
The three-volume publication of the results of archaeological excavations at the UNESCO heritage site of El-Zuma in Sudan, investigated by PCMA University of Warsaw and the National Corporation for Antiquities and Museums in Khartoum, presents an Early Makurian elite tumuli cemetery from the 5th–6th centuries AD. This period in ancient Nubian history, preceding the rise of the Christian kingdoms, has long been understudied. Informed analyses by an array of specialists on the team cover the archaeological and bioarchaeological evidence from the tombs (Volume 1) as well as the abundant ceramics (Volume 2) and small finds, especially jewellery, weaponry and personal accessories (Volume 3). The outcome is a people-oriented view of an elite community in ancient Nubia at the dawn of a new age in its history.

Dějiny Náprstkova muzea I
První díl dvousvazkové monografie věnované pražskému Náprstkovu muzeu pojednává o dějinách této významné muzejní instituce. Cílem je objasnit vývoj postavení muzea v soustavě českých a československých paměťových institucí a proměnu úkolů, které si buď samo předsevzalo, či mu byly ukládány autoritami určujícími směr politického a kulturního vývoje ve státě. Pozornost je věnována i budování expozic a nejvýznamnějším výstavám, a to i v souvislosti s prostory, v nichž muzeum v průběhu let působilo, představen je i jeho vědecký program. Výklad se držím chronologické linie a dějiny muzea jsou zachyceny v celé jejich šíři v podstatě až do současnosti. Druhou, do jisté míry autonomní část výkladu představuje rozsáhlá kapitola o vývoji knihovny Náprstkova muzea.

Dotawo gives a common home to the past, present, and future of one of the richest areas of research in African studies. It offers a crossroads where papyrus can meet internet, scribes meet critical thinkers, and the promises of growing nations meet the accomplishments of old kingdoms.The third volume ...
