![]() ![]() The enormous number of monuments and their spatial distribution are here successfully explained using, for the first time in archaeology, the Neyman-Scott Cluster Process, hitherto designed for cosmology. The wealth of generated information was employed to decipher the spatial arrangement of sites and monuments using Point Pattern Analysis. ![]() Therein, geoarchaeological surveys and the creation of a desk-based dataset of thousands of diachronic funerary monuments (from early tumuli up to modern Beja people islamic tombs) were achieved by means of fieldwork and remote sensing over an area of ∼4100 km 2. The funerary landscape of the semi-arid region of Kassala (Eastern Sudan) represents a solid example. The comprehension of such cultural palimpsests needs substantial research efforts in the field of human ecology. Funerary landscapes are eminent results of the relationship between environments and superstructural human behavior, spanning over wide territories and growing over centuries. ![]()
