Another lecture related to the topic “Northern Kordofan as Crossroads” was given by Dr. Yousif Elgazafi, who reported on his research on the pottery of Zankor, a centre of the Iron Age Old Kordofan culture. Prof. Howeida Mohammed Adam, close cooperation partner of the InterLINK project, also gave a lecture – but this time on her other research focus, the Royal City of Meroe.
Despite the hot weather, over 50 listeners followed the lectures on site in the lecture hall of the James-Simon-Galerie on Berlin’s Museum Island. More than 80 other interested people were connected online. The fact that a considerable part of them participated from Sudan was a special pleasure for us, just like the lively and interested discussion of the presented research results.
