Research in Africa is now accepted as an integral part of global
archaeological studies. As well as providing archaeologists with
the oldest material, Africa is also widely recognised as the
birthplace of modern man and his characteristic cultural patterns.
Archaeological study of later periods provides unique and valuable
evidence for the development of African culture and society, while
ongoing research in Africa provides insights relevant to the
interpretation of the archaeological record in other parts of the
world. In this fully revised and expanded 2005 edition of his
seminal archaeological survey, David Phillipson presents a lucid
and fully illustrated account of African archaeology from
prehistory and the origins of humanity to the age of European
colonisation. The work spans the entire continent from the
Mediterranean to the Cape of Good Hope and demonstrates the
relevance of archaeological research to the understanding of Africa
today.
