In the early 1970s, several international and Sudanese scholars conducted the first petrographic and geochemical studies on Sudanese Mesolithic and Neolithic ceramic assemblages.

Building on such past studies, current archaeometric approaches to Sudanese pottery commonly integrate a wide range of organic (e.g., ORA) and inorganic (e.g., OM, XRF, iNAA) analyses to reconstruct the <em>chaîne opératoire</em> of the ceramic assemblages, local traditions, and ceramic ecologies, considering both the natural and anthropological spheres. The following paper compares different archaeometric studies from key contexts of Sudanese archaeology. The selected case studies range chronologically from the Mesolithic to the Bronze Age. In particular, we demonstrate that shared standard research methods allow for the successful comparison of ceramic assemblages from different chronological and geographic contexts, despite varying sampling strategies, analytical techniques, archaeological challenges, and research objectives.

Archaeodirections were determined after thermal and alternating field demagnetizations and archaeointensities using the Thellier-Thellier protocol with corrections for the anisotropy and cooling rate effects. The large difference between average archaeodirections (more than 20° in declination) clearly demonstrate that the last use of the structures was not contemporaneous, bearing in mind that no archaeological evidence of multiple uses was found. The archaeomagnetic dates were obtained with the local prediction of declination, inclination and intensity by the European geomagnetic model SCHA.DIF.4k. They range between the end of the 8th century BCE and the end of the 5th century BCE with a ∼ 150 years precision at 95 % of confidence for most structures.
