Peeters Publishers has released a new book titled Old Dongola: Development, Heritage, Archaeology. Fieldwork in 2019–2021. This is the eighth volume in the series “Polish Publications in Mediterranean Archaeology”, and, like all previous titles, it is available in open access.
Dongola was the capital of the medieval Christian Kingdom of Makuria, which flourished on the Nile from the late 5th to the 14th century. Research conducted by the PCMA UW has yielded spectacular discoveries in Makurian churches and monasteries, including outstanding examples of Nubian wall paintings. Today, it also encompasses later periods, when a new state entity emerged in Dongola and Islam replaced Christianity.
