Since the outbreak of conflict in April 2023, academic and research activities in Sudan—particularly in the field of archaeology—have suffered profound disruptions. Archaeological sites, museums, and cultural institutions have been adversely affected, leading to the suspension of most fieldwork across the country. Despite these constraints, research related to Sudanese antiquities has continued through the persistent efforts of both Sudanese and international scholars and missions. In response to these unprecedented challenges, the Department of Archaeology at the University of Al Neelian, in collaboration with national and international academic and research institutions, is organizing its third scientific conference. This event aims to provide a platform for critical reflection, knowledge exchange, and the formulation of collaborative strategies to safeguard Sudan's archaeological and cultural heritage.. Conference Themes 1. The Situation of Archaeology in Sudan: 2. Current Research and Ongoing Initiatives 3. Future Challenges and Our Collective Responsibility: Organized in partnership with: 1.
