The Archaeology of Africa:

Foods, Metals and Towns
Front Cover
Thurstan Shaw
2 Reviews
Routledge, Chapman & Hall, Incorporated, 1993 - Social Science - 857 pages
Now available in paperback,The Archaeology of Africaprovides an overview of development in Africa from 8,000 B.C. to the present day. This highly acclaimed book includes contributions from native Africans as well as archaeologists who live on the continent. The Africa which emerges from this book is the proud possessor of a vast and highly complicated interweaving of peoples and cultures, an enormous diversity of economic and social strategies and an extraordinary range of environments. At long last the archaeology of Africa has revealed enough of Africa's unwritten past to confound preconceptions about the continent and to upset the picture inferred from historic written records.
