Abstract

Geoarchaeological studies conducted by the Combined Prehistoric Expedition (CPE) in the Eastern Sahara focused on stratigraphic sequences and paleolandscapes associated with Acheulian, Middle Paleolithic, Late Paleolithic, and Neolithic archaeological sites. Significant regions of study included Bir Sahara-Bir Tarfawi, Wadi Kubbaniya, and Nabta, all situated west of the Nile in southern Egypt. From its inception in 1962 until 1999, Fred Wendorf served as Director of the CPE, with Romuald Schild serving as Associate Director beginning in 1972 and as Director after 1999. After Schild’s retirement in 2007 the CPE was led by Jacek Kabacinski. Schild was responsible for the geologic mapping and stratigraphic studies, although an impressive list of geologists and geoarchaeologists were members of, or collaborated with, the expedition.
