Abstracts

The main aim of this paper is to show how detailed knowl - edge of the recent landscape may help us to identify formation processes in the context of archaeological localities. The research area used in this paper as a case study is called Usli and is located close to the Fourth Nile Cataract. Since 2009 this site has been one of the conces sions explored by the Czech Institute of Egyptology (Faculty of Arts, Charles University in Prague). Close to the site, composed of a complex of temples and palatial and other buildings dated mostly to the Napatan Period (ca. 795–350 B.C.), there is an abandoned modern village, originally built using traditional techniques and building materials. It is possible to recognise clearly how the walls and houses slowly decay and what type of anthropogenic sediment comes to being in consequence of these processes. In the present paper, the sedimentary records described at the archaeological site are compared with the subrecent sedimentary records found in the abandoned village. Additionally, anthropogenic features noted within the abandoned village are discussed in the context of the possible archaeological record.
