Sai is an island in the Nile River located in northern Sudan, 30 km south of Aswan High Dam (Lake Nasser), at the Egyptian-Sudanese border. Numerous early Holocene sites have been located on the island and have been assigned to the so-called Khartoum Variant period (7600-4800 BC). One of them, Site 8-B-10C, revealed a particularly rich archaeological deposit and was extensively excavated. The excavations involved a surface of 7x15 m (105 square metres), organized by a regular 1x1-m grid. Data for spatial analysis were organised according to a GIS platform (ArcMap® 10.3). The Spatial Autocorrelation Global Moran’s and the Getis-Ord General G statistics highlight high clustered spatial patterns in the dataset of the site.

Abstract
Sai is an island in the Nile River located in northern Sudan, 30 km south of Aswan High Dam (Lake Nasser), at the Egyptian-Sudanese border. Numerous early Holocene sites have been located on the island and have been assigned to the so-called Khartoum Variant period (7600-4800 BC). One of them, Site 8-B-10C, revealed a particularly rich archaeological deposit and was extensively excavated. The excavations involved a surface of 7x15 m (105 square metres), organized by a regular 1x1-m grid. Data for spatial analysis were organised according to a GIS platform (ArcMap® 10.3). The Spatial Autocorrelation Global Moran’s and the Getis-Ord General G statistics highlight high clustered spatial patterns in the dataset of the site.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
