Abstract
Excavations are being conducted within the temenos enclosure of a 1st century AD Amun temple at Dangeil, River Nile
State, as the Berber-Abidiya Archaeological Mission is focusing upon the sacred landscape of the late Kushite period in
this region. Recently two field seasons were conducted, one in autumn 2016 and the other in March 2017. The site of
Dangeil measures approximately 300 x 400m, covers 12ha, and consists of several mounds, some greater than 4m in height, each covered with fragments of red brick, sandstone, sherds, and white lime plaster. Dangeil is a modern moniker meaning ‘broken red brick’, and is not an ancient name.
