The purpose of the information and education work of the Sudan Archaeological Society of Berlin e.V. (SAG) is to raise awareness of the richness and importance of the archaeological heritage of Sudan. Most importantly, this is done through its journal ‚Der Antike Sudan. Mitteilungen der Sudanarchäologischen Gesellschaft zu Berlin e.V.‘ (MittSAG). The journal reports on the activities of the SAG, presents current archaeological and conservation-restoration work in Sudan and publishes articles on the culture and history of Sudan.
Every year, the SAG e.V. sponsors the ‚Fritz Hintze Lecture on Sudan Archeology‘ in cooperation with the Department of Northeast African Archaeology and Cultural Studies (AKNOA) at Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin. The lecture serves to commemorate an outstanding representative of modern Sudan Archeology, Prof. Dr. Fritz Hintze (1915-1993), the longtime head of the then Institute of Egyptology and Sudan Archaeology at Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin and initiator of the long-term excavations at Musawwarat es-Sufra. The text of the Fritz Hintze Lectures is published in the journal ‚Der Antike Sudan. Mitteilungen der Sudanarchäologischen Gesellschaft zu Berlin e.V.‘ (MittSAG).
Furthermore, the SAG e.V., in cooperation with AKNOA, sponsors the ‚Sudan Day‘ (Sudantag) at Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, where various speakers report on the latest results from their research, projects and initiatives.
