Kadero is an archaeological site located in Central Sudan, northeast of Khartoum, Sudan and east of the Nile River. [1][2] The site consists of burial grounds and two sand mounds around 1.5 meters in elevation, altogether encompassing around three hectares. [2][3] Kadero was occupied during the Neolithic period, dating to around 5960 and 5030 B.P.. [3]

Context

[edit]

Kadero is one of thousands of Neolithic sites in Sudan, which are mostly concentrated near the Nile River. [4]

Human settlement at Kadero was at its highest during the early Neolithic Period, but the area was used as a burial site and a seasonal settlement up to the Late Neolithic. [2]

The economy of the people at Kadero was likely one of pastoralism, more specifically cattle husbandry, and gathering. [2]

Kadero may have served as a home base for peoples that inhabited a larger area, moving to sites such as Zakiab during dry seasons. [4]

Artifacts at Kadero

[edit]

The two sand mounds, referred to as the northern and southern middens, contain much of Kadero's artifacts. [2]

Human remains

[edit]

248 graves have been found at Kadero, 218 of them dating to the Neolithic period and the rest dating to the Meriotic and Post-Meriotic. [2] Out of the 218 Neolithic graves, only 2 date to the Late Neolithic. [2].

This constricted, tightened positioning was most drastic within Neolithic skeletons but was present throughout the site. [3]

Interpretations

[edit]

Archaeologists are relatively certain that the populations who lived and were buried at Kadero are not analogous to peoples living in the area today. [3] Morphological studies of the skeletons show similarities with peoples from more equatorial areas of Africa, suggesting that the peoples at Kadero moved south.
