Shipwrecks & Lost Worlds - Gebel Ramlah: Tracing prehistoric pastoral life in Egypt

Gebel Ramlah is an archaeological region located in the Western Desert of southern Egypt. Inhabited throughout the African Pastoral Neolithic, the area has revealed six pastoral cemeteries that date to the Final Neolithic during the fifth millennium BC. Excavations at the site have uncovered over two hundred human burials, elaborate grave goods, pottery, and mollusk shells. Most remarkably, researchers identified the world's earliest known infant cemetery here, shedding rare light on the mortuary customs and social structures of ancient pastoralists.
