This volume covers bioarchaeological findings from the Sudan Archaeological Research Society’s 1997-2018 Kawa excavations, focusing on human and animal bones. Human skeletons were meticulously documented and preserved, while archaeozoologists studied fragile animal bones. Additional materials supplement Volume I for context on Kawa's cemetery.
