Description

Dotawo: A Journal of Nubian Studies offers a platform wherein the old meets the new, wherein archaeological, papyrological, and philological research into Meroitic, Old Nubian, Coptic, Greek, and Arabic sources confront current investigations in up to date anthropology and ethnography, Nilo-Saharan linguistics, and critical and theoretical approaches present in post-colonial and African studies. Dotawo: A Journal of Nubian Studies and the Dotawo: Monographs series bring these disparate fields together within the same fold, opening a cross-cultural and diachronic field where divergent approaches meet on common soil. Dotawo gives a common home to the past, present, and future of one of the most richest areas of research in African studies. It offers a crossroads where papyrus can meet web, scribes meet critical thinkers, and the promises of growing nations meet the accomplishments of old kingdoms. The third volume of Dotawo, guest-edited by Marc Maillot, is dedicated to Know-Hows and Techniques in Ancient Sudan. This number of articles is the results of a workshop held at Lille University on September 5 and 6, 2013, which brought together several Sudanese archaeology scholars, from architecture to iron production through pottery and textile industry. Organized by Faïza Drici, Marie Evina, and Romain David, with the fortify of Charles de Gaulle-Lille 3 University and the laboratoire de recherche Halma-Ipel UMR 8164 (CNRS), this workshop used to be presided over by Vincent Rondot (present Director of the Egyptian Antiquities Department of the Louvre Museum and former SFDAS Director). The idea of an academic publication of this workshop in Dotawo used to be presented by Marc Maillot (Section française de la direction des antiquites du Soudan – SFDAS) in September 2014, all over the 13th International Conference for Nubian Studies. The project used to be warmly welcomed by the editorial committee, and gave birth to a fruitful SFDAS/Dotawo cooperation that began a year ago.
