Notes
For a summary of the work of this campaign, see William Y. Adams, Nubia: Corridor to Africa (Princeton, 1977/1985), 81-88.
The first conference, held in Gdansk and Gniew in July 2004, was published as a volume of Gdansk Archaeological Museum African Reports 4 (2005), edited by Henryk Paner and Stefan Jakobielski. The third conference, in July 2006 under the auspices of the ACACIA Collaborative Research Centre, University of Cologne, is now in press. The fourth conference was held in June 2007 at the University of Lille, and now published as CRIPEL supplement 7 (2008). The project background and goals were outlined by Salah Eldin Mohamed Ahmed in the British Museum exhibition catalogue edited by D.A. Welsby and J.R. Anderson, Sudan Ancient Treasures An Exhibition of Recent Discoveries from the Sudan National Museum (London, 2004), 308-314, organised in part to highlight the project; its website (http://www.nubiansociety.org/MDASP.htm) is also available.
The map often employed is the relevant small portion of the Geographical Survey of Sudan, and a regional map from this source would have sufficed. A general MDASP-concessions map also is absent in the first conference volume. A general indication of the flood level at the end of each working season also would have been of interest on these putative maps.
