Abstract
Butler describes the state of the skeletal material from site E71K1 and what can be learned from them. She then compares these remains to other remains from Sahaba, Sudan; Wadi Halfa, Sudan; and Kom Ombo, Egypt. She reports 'all known skeletal material supports an hypothesis of a morphologically homogenous population in the Nile Valley during the Late Pleistocene.' (page 183).
