Beads and warriors : the cemetery at Hagar el-Beida 2 (Sudan)
A complex of tumuli cemeteries dating to the first centuries AD was discovered in the
vicinity of Hagar el-Beida village located in the region of the Fourth Nile Cataract. In two seasons
in 2005, 24 tombs were explored on one of these sites (HB2). The bodies of the deceased were
richly equipped, including bracelets and finger rings, but primarily strings of beads wound around
the necks and hips. The beads were made of a variety of materials: faience, various stones, glass and
ostrich eggshell.
