Description
This is the first book to chronicle the development of African archaeology as a subject.
Archaeologists have been excavating in Africa for over 200 years. Contributors place the subject within the broader political, social and economic context. Not only have the attitudes and aspirations of both colonialism and nationalism been important influences on the development of African archaeology, but certain discoveries have also had considerable political impact.
Contributors include J.D.Clark, Thurstan Shaw and Peter Shinnie, who have been atthe forefront of African archaeology for 50 years.
