Recent Archaeological Discoveries in Eritrea: Unveiling Ancient Civilizations

Eritrea’s rich archaeological heritage has been further illuminated by recent discoveries that shed light on ancient civilizations in the region. Notably, significant findings have emerged from the Adulis archaeological site and the area of Egri-Mekel.

Adulis Archaeological Site Discoveries

In March 2024, archaeologists at Adulis, an ancient port city and Eritrea’s most significant archaeological site, unearthed ceramics dating between 1500 and 500 BC. This discovery suggests that the settlement’s origins are much earlier than previously documented, potentially bridging historical periods from the 1st to the 7th centuries with these earlier times. The Adulis project, a collaboration between Eritrean and Italian experts since 2011, aims to develop the site into the first archaeological park in sub-Saharan Africa, highlighting its international historical significance.
