Abstract
In addition to intra-site patterning with architectural features described in Chap. 3, the last foragers adopted numerous other technological and social innovations, including systematic productions of pottery, ground stone tools, bone and shell tools, and established recurrent burial customs. These cultural components appear throughout Sudan revealing widespread knowledge accumulation. Unlike gradual changes, such technical evolutions are regulated by social mutations and postulate cultural discontinuities from past traditions (Roux 2013). This chapter illustrates the material products (ceramic, lithic, bone, and shell industries), funerary customs, and food traditions expressing them.
