摘 要:The Jebel Sahaba #117 is a Paleolithic burial site in Nubia, and archaeolo-gists excavated 58 burials in the 1960s. These were primary burials, and many had mi-crolithics embedded in the skeletons. The author of the report suggested that these micro-lithics were the weapons which caused the death of the decease. This article analyzes the burial practice, and suggests that the burial clusters were centered on adult males, and that women and children may have been buried as sacrifices in many cases. This ceme-tery reflected a patrilineal social organization.
