The sequel to People, Contacts and the Environment in the African
Past, published under the auspices of a thriving and diverse
regional archaeology research project, 'Human Responses and
Contributions to Environmental Change in Africa'. The book series
aims to disseminate the project's results and stimulate debate on
current issues relating to the archaeology of the region, from
specific and regional perspectives. The editors present an overview
study of the Swahili World, and the excavation of Kaole ruins; and
there is a chapter in French on the bi-partition of Swahili sites,
taking the example of Gede. Three papers are on Zimbabwean
archaeology, one of which presents findings from recent surveys in
northern Zimbabwe and their contribution to an understanding of the
cultural history and spatial behaviour of pre-historic farming
communities in the area. The other papers cover: the merits of
using ceramics as material culture to interpret aspects of
pre-historic human behaviour in Southern Africa; the history of
glass beads and iron metallurgy across the region; and the effect
of geo- environmental aspects on the location of sites on the
central coast of Tanzania.
