Abstract: | An attempt to show how, in the seventh and sixth millennia B.C., an early Holocene population practising a balanced hunting-and-fishing economy with some wildgrain collecting became established in much of the central Sudan between the White and Blue Niles and the Atbara and north to Nubia. In later times their lifestyle underwent various modifications as some domesticates became increasingly available and technological adjustments became a necessity. |
