The '''C-Group culture''' is an [[archaeological culture]] found in [[Nubia|Lower Nubia]], which dates from {{circa}} 2400 BCE to {{circa}} 1550 BCE.<ref name="OrientInst">{{cite web|title=Ancient Nubia: C-Group–Pan Grave–Kerma 2400–1550 BC|url=https://oi.uchicago.edu/museum-exhibits/nubia/ancient-nubia-c-group%E2%80%93pan-grave%E2%80%93kerma-2400%E2%80%931550-bc|publisher=The Oriental Institute|access-date=1 July 2016}}</ref> It was named by [[George A. Reisner]]. With no central site and no written evidence about what these people called themselves, Reisner assigned the culture a letter. The C-Group arose after Reisner's [[A-Group]] and [[B-Group]] cultures, and around the time the [[Old Kingdom]] was ending in [[Ancient Egypt]].<ref>{{Cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=Ui9Qwtp-LV4C&pg=PA33|title=Daily Life of the Nubians|last=Bianchi|first=Robert Steven|date=2004|publisher=Greenwood Publishing Group|isbn=9780313325014|pages=33|language=en}}</ref>
