"African Archaeology: A Critical Introduction" fills a crucial gap
by providing a multi-authored introduction to the archaeology of
Africa that challenges misconceptions and claims about Africa's
past, and teaches students how to evaluate these claims. Ann
Stahl's thoughtful introduction explores the contexts that have
shaped archaeological knowledge of Africa's past and asks readers
to consider for whom Africa's past matters and why. African
Archaeology comprises unique contributions by prominent
archaeologists with regional and topical expertise. They explore
the preoccupations and assumptions that have framed research,
assess the quality and reliability of evidence, and chart emerging
research directions and questions that can help build on the
strengths of earlier work, while finally setting aside long-held
misperceptions.
"African Archaeology" is a landmark volume and an indispensable
tool for students, instructors, and researchers.
