Harvard University-Boston Museum of Fine Arts Egyptian Expedition, under the direction of the late Professor George A. Reisner, first undertook excavation in the Sudan in 1913 when it began work at Kerma, the Middle Kingdom site published by Reisner in 1923 under the title "Excavations at Kerma" in Harvard African Studies, vols. v and vi. Reisner's interest in the country south of Egypt, however, dates further back; he worked in Nubia for the Egyptian Government as early as 1907 in a survey of the district to be affected by the contemplated raising of the Assuan Dam. In the period between his Nubian work and the Kerma campaigns he made a journey down the Nile from the foot of the Fourth Cataract at Gebel Barkal to Wady Halfa, noting potential sites for excavation throughout this region, and he also began the study of such records as existed bearing on the archaeology of the district. It was not until 1916 that he commenced the series of campaigns which were to continue without interruption through 1923, and the results of which form the subject of this paper. The sites with which we shall be concerned are the following (p. 379, fig. 1): NAPATA: The great Temple of Amon-Napata besid
