The Oxford Encyclopedia of African Archaeology brings together
contributions from a global community of leading scholars to
present a comprehensive overview of the current state of the field.
The Encyclopedia covers the breadth of topics and leading questions
in the practice and study of archaeology across the continent, from
the emergence of human ancestors and the earliest manifestation of
human culture to the role of cultural heritage in the present day.
African archaeology is a field where discoveries are continuously
being made and disciplinary specializations are constantly
emerging. As a result, capturing an accurate snapshot of the
current body of research is a challenge. Neither is it always
possible to produce a volume that synthesizes local and regional
histories, both recent and ancient, into a cohesive understading of
the continent. This volume is a major landmark in that it achieves
those goals. The Encyclopedia engages with topical themes such as
the changing nature of social organization, innovations in
livelihoods and subsistence strategies, changing technology and
materials, and human resilience across regions and time periods.
This compilation is a must-have companion for anyone interested in
the full range of African archaeology in terms of specialization,
geographical coverage, gender representation, and sound
scholarship. The Oxford Encyclopedia of African Archaeolgy is a
resource for transforming understanding and practice in African
archaeology, and an essential resource for those from other regions
interested in learning about the deep and recent African peoples
and pasts.
