Gathered together here are the fruits of 60 years of research by
the late Sir Laurence Kirwan into the history and archaeology of
the mid 1st millennium AD in the Middle Nile Valley, papers
previously scattered through a wide range of publications. Kirwan's
fieldwork in the region, undertaken between 1929 and 1936, kindled
a life-long interest in the transition from the pagan Kushite
kingdom to the medieval Nubian states of Nobadia, Makuria and
Alodia (Alwa) and of their conversion to Christianity in the 6th
century AD. The 25 studies, one published here for the first time,
were often of seminal importance when they first appeared, the
author being exemplary in his use of the written sources to
elucidate the archaeological data. As the preface by the editors
shows, the views expressed remain fundamental to modern
scholarship, offering valuable insights into this still relatively
obscure period of transition from the ancient to the medieval
world.
