In 1961, Norway, Finland, Sweden and Denmark began a historic, joint archaeological project in Lower Nubia just south of the Sudanese-Egyptian border. The Scandinavian Joint Expedition to Sudanese Nubia (SJE) conducted well-documented excavation and survey work in their concession area until 1964 as part of UNESCO’s rescue mission before the completion of the Aswan High Dam.
