In the autumn of 2022, field research was resumed in the western part of Jebel Sabaloka in central Sudan. Attention was paid to two sites: Garn el -Tamada (SBK.W-67) investigated for the first time only in the reported field campaign, and Fox Hill (SBK.W-20) whose archaeological potential had been explored in detail already in previous years. In this report we present the main findings and observations made during three weeks in the field and highlight their relevance for extending the understanding of late prehistory of central Sudan as regards both the diversity of hunter -gatherer way of life as well as the complexity of the Mesolithic- -Neolithic transition.
