FOURTH CATARACT - ULI ISLAND
SUDAN
island, lying close to the modern villages,
are most probably of modern age. Nonethe-
less, the presence of a qubba in the northern
cemetery would suggest a fairly long period
of use for this site [Fig. 11]
The expedition also made an effort to
document conditions of life on the island
today. The architecture of the abandoned
modern houses was documented, including
the wall paintings and graffiti left on the
walls [Fig. 12].
Rock drawings of animals and people,
and in one case a cross, were noted on more
than a dozen sites.4 Rock bells with clear
evidence of use were observed in two
places.
