المستخلص: One of most prominent archaeological features of the Third Nile Cataract Region is the presence of a large number of long and low stonewalls structures called Wadi Walls or "Dry-stones". Some authors assume that these walls were as game traps and drive during seventh to second millennium B.C. In the Third Nile Cataract Region, the wall designs and landscape situations are not enthusing thinking about such functions. The first new provision of this paper suggests the use of the walls for water harvest and silt accumulation. The practice was for agriculture and drink during dry periods prevailing pots- Holocene, mainly during Pre-Kerma (3000-2500 BC) and Kerma (2500-1500 BC) or even during Christian period (300-1500 AD). The second suggests that wadi walls might have been used as protective enclosures. The walls keep settlers, herds and crops against attacks of enemies. This type of practice in the third cataract region was adopted probably during Neolithic (5000-3000 BC) with stronger possibility during Pre-Kerma and Kerma.
