The aim of this article is to present the latest results of the ethno-archaeological research which was carried out in central Yatenga (Burkina Faso) in a small community called Nyonyosi. The examined group, according to oral traditions and historical sources, could be perceived as direct descendants of the societies which inhabited the upper Nakambé valley before Mossi migration in the 14th and 15th century CE. Nowadays, due to a high degree of acculturation, Nyonyosi have lost their cultural distinctiveness and have adopted the lifestyle and language of the newcomers. However, despite the passing of the centuries, some autochthonic elements have survived in the institution of the “earth priests” – tengsoba, which is reflected in the material culture. These include local ceramic art, objects linked to the worship and burials of tengsoba. The article is an attempt to present the phenomenon of modern tengsoba burials as a connection between the present living culture and the archaeological culture. Main components of those burials, such as stone stela and clay coffins, are derived from forms found in Kurumba chiefdoms. In my search for analogies between the regions, I also use oral tradition, which has preserved information about migration from Lurum.

The paper focuses on the research perspectives of the so called Funj period in Dongola Reach. It also outlines the socio-political situation after the collapse of the Kingdom of Makuria and presents an interpretation of the processes based on the written sources. The paper also introduces the ethnic context of the middle-Nile valley, reconstructed on the basis of written sources. The sources point to an influx of Arab tribes to the lands of the Kingdom of Makuria as the main reason of the ethnic shift. The state of the archaeological research on the Funj period is presented in the second part of the paper, along with a consideration of the possible research perspectives. Among the discussed approaches in the context of the studies of the Funj period in Dongola Reach are historical archaeology, Islamic archaeology and ethno-archaeology. The last part of the paper presents regional studies as a possible way of conducting research on the patterns of the settlements and the political integration in the middle-Nile valley. The aim of the paper is an assessment of the available research perspectives and methods according to the realities of the discussed region and the availability and character of the sources.
