[1][2] The site consists of burial grounds and two sand mounds around 1.5 meters in elevation, altogether encompassing around three hectares.

[2] Kadero may have served as a home base for peoples that inhabited a larger area, moving to nearby sites during dry seasons.

[2][5] The peoples at Kadero are believed to have been part of the early Khartoum culture, living similar lifestyles to those in the area.

[2] The decrease over time in settlement of Kadero is likely explained by a transition to a more nomadic lifestyle in the Late Neolithic.

[5] Erosion in the area has made the material culture and burials within the site close to the surface of the ground or only slightly underground, which has negatively affected the quality of preservation of these objects.

[2][5] The most prevalent types of stone tools were gouges, axes, and hammers, but grindstones and hoe blades have also been found.

[2] These remains have been divided into four groups: animals that were used for food, shells originating from the Red Sea or Indian Ocean, and early or late intrusive species.

[8] Discarded shells from species such as Limicolaria flammata, Pila ovata, Nile mussels, and river oysters have been found at the site.

[3] The inhabitants of Kadero collected resources from a variety of animals, but the archaeological record shows a preference for cattle.

[2] The large numbers of cattle bones found at Kadero is unusual for sites inhabited by pastoralists.

[9] Kadero is one of many sites that shows domestication of animals such as cattle and goats occurring at the same time as the adoption of dairying; however, this is not a universal experience across Neolithic Africa.

[2] Although the explanations as to how and why the people at Kadero began to adopt pastoralism vary, the seasonal patterns of food collection are much more clear.

[9] Skeletal analysis suggests that the Neolithic peoples at Kadero may have lived a more economically comfortable life than their counterparts in Europe.

Material analysis of pottery found at Kadero and other sites has led researchers to conclude that Nile mud was a primary resource for the creation of ceramic throughout Neolithic Central Sudanese communities.

[12] The artistic decorations found on the pottery are also considered to be similar to other Central Sudanese Neolithic sites such as Esh Shaheinab, suggesting that these communities were in contact.
