The article offers an overview of wall inscriptions from the Southwest Annex to the Monastery on Kom H at Dongola documented in the 2013 season. The collection consists of 49 items. They can be divided into two categories: integral elements of the original decoration of the Annex and elements that were introduced when the Annex was in use, mostly by lay visitors. The two categories are described and the most interesting items are presented in greater detail. Information derived from the inscriptions is discussed in the context of Christian Nubian culture.

The article reviews the body of archaeological and architectural evidence for social transformation taking place in Dongola during the period from the end of the 13th through the end of the 17th century, the uppermost stratum uncovered by Polish archaeologists excavating the ruins of the medieval seat of Makurian kings. Domestic architecture from the late 14th through 17th centuries and the artifactual finds from these dwellings, which were built on top of the ruins of the Makurian capital, demonstrate the character and extent of changes in the education, culture and religion of the inhabitants of the city from the Funj period

The paper presents the textile material retrieved from the so-called House of the Mekk, which appears as one of the most important compounds (by size and intricate plan) of the Funj period, established in the Old Dongola citadel. The general typology of the textiles, representative of an urban settlement, is presented and two study-cases (piece-dyed blue cottons and fabrics decorated with plaid-effect pattern in white and blue) are further discussed. The textile analysis is complemented by written sources of various kinds (court registers, traveler's accounts) to provide information about trade routes and goods and also to offer a preliminary picture of the sartorial practices of the elite at Old Dongola during the Ottoman period.

The article provides a transcription, translation, and analysis of the Old Nubian legends on a painting of a dancing scene in room 5 of the Southwest Annex of the Monastery on Kom H in Dongola. The painting shows two groups of Nubian singing and dancing, and from the legends we understand that the occasion is the birth of a new heir to the royal throne, and that the Virgin Mary is invoked to ease the pangs of labour.

Archaeological exploration of Crypt 3 in the commemorative burial complex in the Northwest Annex of the Monastery on Kom H in Dongola in 2012 completed the process of investigation of the three crypts, discovered in the mid-1990s but not fully excavated at the time. Crypt 3, built together with Crypt 2, hosted remains of five individuals. Remains of textiles and grave furnishings were also discovered, among them an oil lamp and part of a broken amphora. Crypt 3 constituted an integral part of a commemorative complex consisting of a naos, two sanctuaries with altars and screens, and a prothesis with altar.

Representations of Makurian Kings and Queens (Mothers of the King), dated from the end of the 8th through the 13th centuries, have been preserved inside several churches of Makuria, but mostly inside the cathedrals of Pachoras. The representation of the king inside the monastery church NB.2.2 in Dongola is the latest one and the most fully preserved with the regalia and late dress.

The article discusses an assemblage of pottery recovered from unit B.I.41 in the palatial building B.I excavated on the citadel of Dongola in the 2011 and 2012 seasons. Exploration started with the fill of the room, followed by the fill of structures belonging to an earlier building below it. A well dated sequence of layers from the 6th through 7th centuries was identified. The pottery assemblage proved to be very abundant, composed of table vessels, cooking pots, storage and transport containers; the lattermost group included imported examples, mainly from Egypt. Most of the finds represented Dongolan ceramic production from the period in question.

The four seasons, two in 2012 and two in 2013, carried out in ancient Dongola by an expedition from the Polish Centre of Mediterranean Archaeology, University of Warsaw, were devoted to continuing excavations in a number of areas: the fortifications on the Citadel and houses from the Funj period (17th–18th century) outside of the fortifications; site SWN on the Citadel, including Building B.I (Palace of Ioannes) and Building B.V (church); and the monastery complex on Kom H, encompassing the monastic church, sanctuary of Anna, gates to the monastery for monks and laity, finally the commemorative building of the Dongolan bishops with three crypts where the third of the crypts was revisited to study the burials from an anthropological perspective. In late 2013, a new Qatar–Sudan Archaeological Project (No. 10) was launched with fieldwork concentrated on the Mosque Building and within the Citadel.

Bishops of the Patriarchate of Alexandria travelling to meet their Patriarch in Late Antiquity and Early Middle Ages: A study of the motives and duration of their journeys

The article considers the theme stated in the title in three separate sections focusing on three regions that were ecclesiastically subordinate to the patriarchate of Alexandria, that is Egypt, Libya Inferior and Pentapolis, and Nubia and Ethiopia. Bishops in the first area, strictly controlled by the patriarch, travelled to Alexandria first to be ordained and later to attend synods called by the patriarch and to conduct routine business, for example requesting financial assistance, waiting for a dispute between hierarchs to be solved, or in the case of breaking the discipline by the bishops or members of the clergy subordinate to them. Churches of Nubia and Ethiopia, located farther afar, sought the patriarch’s attention almost exclusively in order to ordain bishops of the political centres of their states. The patriarch’s ability to directly interfere with the internal matters of these distant Churches was very limited. For each of the examined regions, the author seeks to establish the approximate time required to travel to Alexandria. This section of the paper is based on antique and early medieval sources as well as post-medieval and nineteenth-century travel records.
