Since my first years in life, I have been fascinated by digging, ancient human life, and adventures for discovering things below earth and in the natural world. I got my BA in Archaeology and an MA and Ph.D. in Environmental Archaeology, both from the Department of the Archaeology, University of Khartoum. I’m an associate professor and head of the Archaeology Department at the University of Al Neelain, Khartoum, Sudan. I was awarded the scientific superiority of young Arab archaeologists award from the General Union of Arab Archaeologists (2016), and I received a UNESCO fellowship in archaeology and conservation at the Institute of Archaeology, Nicolas Copernicus University, Poland, in 2019-2020. I have conducted many research projects between 2013 and now, with many publications in different areas and regions ranging from the prehistoric to the Christian period. The main topic that I focused on was how humans adapted to their palaeoenvironment, in particular through the application of numerous methods of environmental archaeology, from both zooarchaeology and archaeobotany.
I am currently conducting a postdoctoral fellowship as part of the PALEONILE project at the Museum für Naturkunde in order to apply 3D geometric morphometrics methods as well as preliminary tests of micro-wear analysis to a Late Acheulean assemblage excavated from the middle Atbara River area, eastern Sudan.
