Jebel Moya is an archaeological site located in the southern part of the Gezira Plain in Sudan. The 25-acre site was the locus of the largest-known pastoralist necropolis in Africa, with more than 3,000 burials dating between 5000 BCE and 500 CE. Sir Henry Wellcome first excavated the site from 1911 to 1914.
