Welcome to the Nubian Archaeological Project.

We are a U.S. based organization dedicated to the study and preservation of ancient Nubia's rich history, culture, and archaeological legacy.

The Nubian Archaeological Project is led by Nubia Wardford. Nubia has been offered a scholarship from the University of Khartoum for the Masters and Doctorate program in archaeology. The field study portion will take place at the Sacred Cities of Ancient Nubia. Dr. Anderson Thompson, who has formed a partnership with the Nubian Archaeological School of Sudan and the University of Khartoum, established the initial contact. The archaeological team will be composed of continental Africans and African Americans. Read more...

Ancient Nubia, in modern Sudan, is the area where many of the foundations of civilization were developed. There has been very little excavation and study of this area and now the area is in danger of being totally destroyed by flooding as a result of the construction of dams. The project has now become an emergency recovery effort, as well as a salvation project. The artifacts excavated will be studied then returned to Sudan to arrange a traveling exhibition to raise money for the archaeological school in Sudan. Monies raised will be used for all travel, research, equipment, supplies and excavations of the Sacred Cities of Ancient Nubia.
