Ethnographical studies are also, therefore, of prime importance. Through a series of lectures, newsletters, and an annual seminar on recent fieldwork, the Society hopes to promote interest in the ancient and medieval cultures, and in the traditional cultures, of Sudan and to publicise the danger to Sudan's heritage. In addition the Society acts as a fund-raising body to allow it to participate directly in archaeological and ethnographical expeditions and to support other appropriate projects. Anyone who is interested in joining the Society or who would like further information please contact The Hon. The Sudan Archaeological Research Society.
Admission is free.
The Oriental Institute is located at 1155 East 58th Street, Chicago Illinois.
