In 1957, when archaeological work was restricted in Egypt during the Suez crisis, the Society returned to the Sudan with an excavation, directed by Bryan Emery, at the site of Buhen where the ancient Egyptians had built impressive brick fortifications on their southern frontier.
The sites of Buhen, Semna and Kumma are now lost beneath the waters of the new Lake Nasser behind the High Dam.

 Ancient Egyptian military fortifications
The eastern wall, built on top of a rocky slope, was only 15 metres high, while in the other directions the walls reached heights of about 25 metres with ramparts 9 metres thick at ground level jutting out from the main wall.
All these precautions were to no avail: a breach in the southern wall between the two ramparts closest to the river indicates that the fortification was conquered.
Buhen was the main garrison town among these fortresses protecting the Nubian frontier, a few tens of kilometres north of Semna and Kumma, and a string of further forts (Mirgissa just south of the 2nd cataract, Dabenarti, Askut, Shalfak, Uronarti) in between.
