Late Antic Nubia (1st-6th centuries CE) experienced deep mutations which transformed the region from a province of the Meroitic Empire to an independent kingdom, Postmeroitic then Medieval and Christian. The ways and means of such an important cultural transformation are still scarcely understood by archaeologists and historians. By deciphering the evolutions of costume at Djebel Adda, this article offers new perspectives based on material culture to the study of this transition period. Because clothing shapes so much of the individual and his or her relations within society, conducting an archaeology of clothing at Djebel Adda gives us the opportunity to understand the active construction and negotiation of Nubian cultural identities.
