During the winter 2011 American Museum of Natural History (AMNH) interdisciplinary anthropo-logical expedition to Northern Sudan, a number of potentially fossiliferous localities were inspected between Khartoum and Karima, and surface finds were collected. Based on a first evaluation, we discuss the potential of the Sudanese territory for paleoan-thropology, and present some preliminary findings from a Pleistocene assemblage.
