At the Nature and Humankind Museum a study day in honor of the archaeologist Sandro Salvatori

A study day in honor of Sandro Salvatori to investigate the excavations at Al-Khiday will be take place on Wednesday October, 25 at the Nature and Humankind Museum of the University of Padua.

It will be followed by an open public showing of the documentary that explores aspects of the life of the hunter-gatherer-fishermen who lived on the banks of the White Nile in the Late Pleistocene-Early Holocene.
