Jebel Mokram mobility and pastoral systems
Jebel Mokram communities combined mobile pastoral strategies, smaller settlements and interaction across eastern Sudan and adjacent zones.
What is the evidence?
observation
Jebel Mokram communities combined mobile pastoral strategies, smaller settlements and interaction across eastern Sudan and adjacent zones.Review and provenance
Specialist reviewer: not recorded. Review date: not recorded.
Dataset workflow: proposed. This is separate from specialist review.
Confidence describes the stated assessment; it does not certify expert approval. How review works.
Chronology
Dating intervals may describe uncertainty or phases; their width alone does not establish event duration.
1600 BCE–800 BCE
Precision: broad group range
Chronology model: Jebel Mokram group chronology
moderateThe group spans a long period and site-level chronologies vary; isotope evidence samples only part of the sequence.

Interpretation and caveats
The evidence supports changing mobility and local-external contacts rather than a homogeneous nomadic people or one migration wave.
Event context
Classification
Event type: mobility and pastoral reorganization
Evidence layer: archaeological
Timeline role: regional core
People and places
Locations: Jebel Mokram Group, Eastern Sudan and Nubia interaction zone, Eritrean highlands and coast
Why it matters to the timeline
The event covers eastern Sudan connections and African inland agency required for understanding the Horn and Red Sea systems.
