ABSTRACT The excavation at al-Khiday’s Mesolithic and Neolithic sites, located along the western bank of the White Nile, 25 km south of Khartoum, provides a complex view of hunter-gatherer-fisher pottery-bearing communities inhabiting this region of Sudan during the early and middle Holocene. Their state of preservation, combined with special attention to site formation processes and a multidisciplinary approach to excavation and recording methods, has identified a settlement evolving from an ephemeral occupation into a village in which spaces were organised with different structures suggesting diversified functions and activities. Combined palaeoenvironmental, archaeological and bio-archaeological studies allow reconstruction of the transition from residential mobility to a nearly sedentary lifestyle and, in the later phase, a return to more mobile strategies.

摘要位于喀土穆以南25公里处的白尼罗河西岸的Al-Khiday的中石器时代和新石器时代遗址的发掘提供了早期居住在苏丹这一地区的狩猎，捕捞，捕捞，陶器群落的复杂景象。和中全新世。他们的保存状态，再加上对场地形成过程的特别关注，以及对挖掘和记录方法的多学科研究，已经确定了一个从短暂的占领演变成一个村庄的村庄，该村庄的空间组织结构各异，功能和活动多种多样。结合古环境，考古学和生物考古学研究，可以重建从居住区流动性到近乎久坐的生活方式的转变，在后期阶段，
