Abstract | ||||
Eastern Sahara witnessed during its history several climatic changes from glacial ages to humid weather which attracted human and animal migrations from the Nile valley to settle in the desert. Now eastern Sahara is one of the most arid parts across the globe. The area of Selima Sandsheet and the Nubian desert in general is poorly studied, but recently in the last few decades the interest in study the Nubian desert began to increase. The area of Burg et Tuyur and Selima Sandsheet yielded many finds that enabled the researchers to draw a picture about the past history of the area and its Palaeofauna and flora. Burg et Tuyur 80/64 site in Selima Sandsheet in Northern Sudan is one of the prominent sites in the Nubian western desert. The site was discovered and excavated in the 80s by Members of the B.O.S members along with many other sites in Egypt and Sudan. The history of the sites extends over a huge time span and the finds includes lithics, Pottery, and rock art. | ||||
