A revised work, based on the author's doctoral research, which
examines the Meroitic Civilization in sub-Saharan Africa. Rejecting
the common Egyptocentric approach to the subject, Edwards' concern
is to develop a more social archaeology, and explore linkages
between state structure, population and material culture. His aim
is to adopt an African oriented standpoint, refusing to rely only
upon monuments, the higher arts, and inscriptions, to produce a
traditional historical narrative. Using modern advances in theory
and methodology, the analysis covers 'power bases' (subsistence
& production, economic administration, manufactures),
long-distance exchanges and the prestige goods economy, and
thorough interpretation of settlement patterns in lower Nubia.
