The island of Saï preserves innumerable archaeological vestiges testifying to human occupations from the Palaeolithic to the modern period. Since the 1950s, teams of French archaeologists have contributed to their study. Under the direction of Vincent Francigny (CNRS, UMR 8167 Orient & Méditerranée) since 2015, the current mission focuses mainly on the Pharaonic period fortified city and several Meroitic necropolises.
