October’s issue (number 25), Excavations is the Meroitic Cemetery of Dangeil, Sudan by Mahmoud Suliman Bashir and Julie Anderson is an account of the ongoing excavations of the ancient site in the Sudan by archaeologists from the Sudanese National Corporation for Antiquities and Museums and the British Museum. Published in both English and Arabic editions, it was written as a tool to help explain to the local Sudanese villagers and school children why archaeologists excavate cemeteries. This book follows on from an earlier (2010) book, Excavations in the Temple Precinct of Dangeil by Julie and Salah eldin Mohamed Ahmed.

Case Study – Julie Anderson and the British Museum

As with every previous case study I’ve posted up to now, this week’s case is an example of a very distinctive context for the design and use for the eBooks. Today’s post is the first of two cases that involve the British Museum which means we’re dealing with a far larger institution than in previous cases. Nevertheless, as I hope you will see, this case has quite a few similarities with other approaches we’ve explored to date.

I had the chance to pay a visit to Julie Anderson, Assistant Keeper for Ancient Sudan and Egyptian Nubia at the BM on the 14 September to talk about her work with the eBooks. Julie is the project leader for what is known as the Berber-Abidiya archaeological project in Sudan. She and her collaborator Dr Salah eldin Mohamed Ahmed in Sudan have been working with Proboscis to develop a version of the eBook as part of this project. This was my chance to find out a bit more about the project.
