Various expeditions have conducted surveys and excavations between the first and the third cataract of the Nile in the Southern Egypt and Northern Sudan. Investigations revealed a number of Post Meroitic sites (previously known as X- Group as termed by Reisner more than a century ago). At the earlier stages of the work only graveyards, mainly of royal classes, were found. But later a number of settlement sites were recovered yielding rich archaeological material. This paper attempts to survey these settlement sites and look into the cultural elements reflecting continuity and/or change during the period dominated by this culture.
