Excavated in the early years of the 20th century, Jebel Moya lies in the Blue Nile province of the Sudan, some 60 km east of Jebel et Tomat. Before the excavation of the latter site, the enormous amount of material recovered frm Jebel Moya was difficult to interpret. Both are now seen as settlements broadly contemporary with Meroe, but lying beyond the limit of direct contact with more northerly civilizations.
