Along with my colleagues and friends, I found myself in a state of shock at the destruction of our country’s infrastructure, the looting of property, and the killing, rape and forced displacement of inhabitants, driven to various regions in Sudan and abroad. Vincent’s call coincided with the war’s sudden expansion hundreds of kilometres south of Khartoum. As archaeologists we were doubly grieved: by the loss of a country and its people and by the danger incurred by the cultural heritage of this region of the Nile Valley – what could happen, or has happened, to our museums in Khartoum, Nyala, El-Geneina and the city of Wad Madani in Al Jazirah, and the devastation threatening our archaeological sites throughout this territory so rich in remains. In the midst of all of this fear, distress and frustration, our colleague Vincent’s call provided a glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel. It made me aware that there were still friends working for the good of this country where they had lived, mingling with its inhabitants and appreciating its history; and where they had spent decades conducting excavations of archaeological sites and research in libraries and laboratories, in an effort to discover and preserve the heritage of this part of the Nile Valley. The focus on Sudan of the 14th International Conference for Nubian Studies held in Paris in September 2018 brought together hundreds of specialists from around the globe; and Sudan remains ever present in the minds of these friends, whose love for this country is not swayed by the current bleak situation. This conference was an extraordinary academic event. Let us note the remarkable presence of a large number of Sudanese researchers, made possible through generous financial support from the Qatar Museums Authority, which has funded over forty archaeological missions in Sudan in recent years. The conference centred on the work of the Qatar-Sudan Archaeological Project (QSAP), launched in the winter of 2013–2014. XIII PROCEEDINGS OF THE 14TH INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE FOR NUBIAN STUDIES Today, I am delighted to be writing the preface to the proceedings of this conference, the fruit of a successful partnership between the Musée du Louvre and Sorbonne Université. These proceedings, in two volumes, will be a tremendous addition to the bibliography of Sudanese antiquities and history. We are even more delighted that our Paris colleagues decided to publish this work in volume XX of the journal Kush, which, since its first publication seventy years ago, has been a precious heritage resource for the Sudanese National Corporation for Antiquities and Museums. These two volumes, including contributions by more than seventy specialists, represent a major scholarly achievement in the field of Middle Nile Valley heritage, and will be accessible to hundreds of researchers and students. They encompass the results of multi-year efforts by dozens of researchers, who undertook fieldwork, laboratory and office studies covering all periods of Sudanese history, from Prehistory to the contemporary period; studies on museum collections, the management of archaeological and cultural sites and of heritage sites in general; and other additional specialised studies. This publication includes a list of references summarising the works of hundreds of researchers spanning more than a century. We are deeply grateful to the International Society for Nubian Studies, which, for more than half a century, has brought together specialists from around the world to present their latest research on the antiquities of this part of Africa to the global scientific community. This achievement adds to the list of French contributions in Sudan, from the travels of Linant de Bellefonds and Frédéric Cailliaud in the first quarter of the 19th century, to the campaign to safeguard Nubian antiquities in the 1960s; numerous Sudanese sites at Mirgissa, Batn-el-Haggar, Sai Island, Sedeinga, Soleb and Kerma (with the Swiss mission), Kadruka and Gism Arba; and the resettlement sites related to the Merowe Dam Archaeological Salvage Project (2003–2009) at El-Multaqa, Berber, Wadi El-Makabrab, El-Hobagi, El-Hassa, Muweis, Wad ben Naga, Soba, Al-Jerif East, Ariab in the Red Sea Hills, and Kordofan. A number of French institutions will live on in the memory of Sudanese archaeologists for their long-standing contributions to the discovery and preservation of the country’s cultural heritage, and to training generations of Sudanese archaeologists who have gone on to manage this heritage and teach in Sudanese universities and institutes. These include the Lille and Sorbonne Universities, the Louvre Museum, the French National Centre for Scientific Research (CNRS), the International Centre for Earthen Architecture (CRAterre) at Grenoble University, the French National Institute for Preventive Archaeological Research (INRAP), the French Institute for Oriental Archaeology (IFAO), and lastly, the French Section of the Sudan Antiquities Authority (SFDAS, also known as French Unit). For over fifty five years, the SFDAS has been the only foreign archaeological institute permanently established in Sudan. Despite the war, its work has not stopped: it continues to carry out its mission from Cairo, alongside Sudanese antiquities authorities displaced to Egypt. The French Ministry XIV PREFACE of Foreign Affairs and its embassy in Khartoum have been a cornerstone of this cooperation for decades. We are confident that the current situation will not last, and that friends from around the world will come together once more in a safe Sudan, to continue to preserve the archaeological heritage of the Middle Nile Valley through major projects such as the Qatar-Sudan Archaeological Project. XV Acknowledgments by Marie Millet, Vincent Rondot, Frédéric Payraudeau, Pierre Tallet This publication is the culmination of a commitment made in summer 2014 when, at the concluding session of the 13th International Conference for Nubian Studies in Neuchâtel, it was announced that the conference’s 14th edition would be held in Paris in four years. A partnership between the Musée du Louvre and the Sorbonne Université was sought from the outset for its organisation. Additionally, the bilateral cooperation programme between Sudan and Qatar that had been launched in 2008 was set to end after a decade, and the Qatar Museums Authority accepted an agreement in principle to fund travel to France for a number of Sudanese colleagues. Thus, from 10 to 15 September 2018, researchers from around the world gathered in central Paris at the Louvre Michel Laclotte Auditorium, the Grand Amphithéâtre of the Sorbonne and the lecture halls of the Institut National d’Histoire de l’Art, for the first conference of this scale ever held by our national museum. From the start, the idea of the conference was endorsed and supported by Jean-Luc Martinez, consistent with the initiative put forth by Henri Loyrette in 2006 for the Musée du Louvre to play an active role in international archaeological and museum research in Sudan. This commitment has taken two forms: firstly, the archaeological excavations undertaken in the Meroe region at Muweis (2007–2019) and, since 2020, at El-Hassa, twenty-five kilometres south of the pyramids of Meroe; and secondly, training programmes in Sudan and France for Sudanese museum personnel in the fields of collections care and conservation. This scientific collaboration with the National Corporation for Antiquities and Museums resulted in exceptional loans from the Sudan National Museum in Khartoum for two exhibitions devoted to Sudan at the Louvre: Méroé. Un empire sur le Nil, held in 2010 and Pharaon des Deux Terres. L’épopée africaine des rois de Napata, held in 2022. Today, the Louvre is intent on upholding this commitment through a cooperation that is all the more important given the sudden return of instability in recent times. It is vital at this time to support our colleagues – in heritage departments, museums and universities – in order to maintain the international quality of research on collections and archaeological sites, to promote enhanced understanding of the history of the Middle Nile Valley and in this way, to participate in the preservation of heritage. Featuring fifty-five XVII PROCEEDINGS OF THE 14TH INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE FOR NUBIAN STUDIES contributions by more than sixty-five authors spanning from Prehistory to the contemporary period, the proceedings of the 14th International Conference for Nubian Studies in Paris are an exemplary representation of the Louvre’s mission of international cooperation, and of the institution’s pride in always striving for the universalisation of knowledge. This publication would not have been possible without the support of our institutions, colleagues, students and volunteers. The teams from the Musée du Louvre, the Sorbonne and its Centre de recherches égyptologiques, the UMR Orient et Méditerranée, and the Section française de la Direction de antiquités du Soudan, were of great help in the organisation of the conference and the preparation of these proceedings for publication. We extend our heartfelt thanks to all involved in this undertaking. We are particularly grateful to the staff of Louvre’s Département des Antiquités égyptiennes, whose involvement in 2018 was invaluable, as was their moral support during the proceedings editorial process, so vital to finalising this volume. Salah Eldin Mohamed Ahmed, our interlocutor at the Qatar Museums Authority, and the author of the preface, was one of the architects of the conference, and the link enabling Sudanese museum and heritage service professionals to be present at the Paris conference. Ibrahim Musa, Director-General of the National Corporation for Antiquities and Museums, was consistently encouraging, despite the circumstances, during the final stages leading up to the publication of these proceedings, and throughout their preparation; Violaine Bouvet-Lanselle, Head of the Publications at the Musée du Louvre, provided the unwavering support so necessary to the publication of these proceedings. The Institut français d’archéo‑ logie orientale, as well as its printing house, which had produced volume XIX of the journal Kush, responded very favourably to the proposal for the publication of this XXth volume. XVIII Abbreviations & General Bibliography The bibliographic system adopted for this volume is adapted from that of PRIMIS, 2018; the abbreviations follow those of IFAO which are available on line (Mathieu, Abréviations, 2023, https://www.ifao.egnet.net/uploads/publications/ enligne/IF1324.pdf). The “Harvard System” has not been used, but the indication of the date of publication for each reference is maintained, and the references relating to each author are arranged according to the date of publication in order to faciliate navigation between the two systems. In the same spirit, we have chosen to maintain the individual bibliography of each contribution within which the titles of articles and other works are given in extenso when the reference publication is only cited once, and in abbreviated form with the full reference title given in the general bibliography for references appearing at least twice. Museum and exhibition catalogues are classified separately at the beginning of the general bibliography.

LII A Relief from the Temple of Amun at Meroe showing Natakamani and Amanitore Comments on photograph M 328 in the Garstang archive* by Aminata Sackho-Autissier The collection of photographs of excavations carried out by John Garstang at Meroe (1909–1914) is held by the Garstang Museum of Archaeology in Liverpool, England. It provides first-hand documentation for anyone working on Meroe, whether that involves the archaeology of the site, the history of the collections, or the material culture. These photographic archives, comprising 1 100 glass-plate negatives and 125 cellulose-acetate negatives, were inventoried and digitised in 2015. Among the thirty-six albums of paper prints, this article focuses on photograph M 328 (Fig. 1),1 published by Garstang and later discussed by László Török in his essential book, Meroe City, An Ancient African Capital: John Garstang’s Excavations in the Sudan. The blocks and carved reliefs, which were removed from their context prior to being photographed, feature rich dress and royal finery. The relief covers six adjacent blocks of sandstone belonging to the north wall of kiosk M 279 in the Temple of Amun (Fig. 2).2 This wall was originally carved with depictions of Natakamani, Amanitore, and Prince Arikankharor before a procession of deities (mid first century AD). The blocks were not found in place and were reassembled blind before being photographed. They were part of the main register on which the king and queen * For their material assistance, I am grateful to Ashley Cooke, senior curator of Antiquities at the World Museum, Liverpool, and Gina Criscenzo-Laycock, curator of the Garstang Museum of Archaeology, Liverpool.

(Fig. 7) The backs of all these pieces show signs of cutting, but it is not known whether the blocks were recut when packed for shipping or when acquired by the museums.4 The relief was originally carved with three cartouches of Meroitic hieroglyphs bearing the names of (N)tkm(ni) [Natakamani], (M)ni(tore) [Amanitore] and (A)rkxror [Arikankharor].5 The photograph taken in 1910 already shows the hieroglyphs in a poor state of preservation. The names of the king and queen were heavily eroded; only Arikankharor’s name was relatively legible (Figs. 1 and 2). Natakamani’s name has disappeared due to the recutting of World Museum block 49.47.721. The monarchs were probably dressed in the so-called “tripartite” costume of a close-fitting cloak, long cord with tassels, and fringed shawl. A long necklace of large beads was also customary.6 Natakamani is wearing the pshent. This royal headdress was retained among Kushite regalia after the end of the 25th Dynasty and can be seen in official Meroitic depictions.7 The earliest attested appearance dates to the reign of Arnekhamani (c. 240–214 BC). In the Lion Temple in Musawwarat es-Sufra, that king is shown twice wearing the pshent – once on the outer north wall of the temple (where Török, Meroe City, 1997, 128, fig. 59 (279–1).

The seals show the Kushite cap crown with double uraei, topped by the Isis headdress.12 The Isis headdress is first attested in the mid third century BC and is found on a column in the Lion Temple at Musawwarat es-Sufra, showing a queen worshipping ram-headed Amun.13 In theory, there is no other occurrence until the first century AD, when Amanitore was shown wearing the Isis headdress in the Lion Temple and on an architrave of the Temple of Amun.14 The latest example is seen in the chapel of pyramid N 32 at Meroe (Queen Amanakhalikha[?]).15 In the Lion Temple, Natakamani (wearing the Atef crown) and Amanitore (crowned with the solar disk between the horns of a cow) are represented as Osiris and Isis, as evidenced by reliefs on the outer north wall where Isis, at the head of a procession of goddesses, welcomes the king and the Candace, both wearing the tripartite dress.16 In general, Meroitic royal dress was enriched with jewellery of all kinds. Finery for the ear included pendent earrings in the shape of stelae. An example found at Faras (Sudan National Museum, Khartoum, 762a) recalls depictions of these stela-like ornaments on the ears of kings and queens of Meroe (Fig. 9).17 Initially described as a ceremonial ring,18 in fact it is an earring, as demonstrated by a corpus of examples ranging from the first to the third century AD: Mus. es Sufra I,2, 1971, pl. 35 (outer north wall) and pl. 89 (column 4).
