About This Item
(London: James Currey / Portsmouth, NH: Heinemann, 1990) 0852550650. 231 x 155 mm; laminated pictorial wrappers; pp. vi + 378, incl. index; illustrations; maps. A little sunned on spine; earlier owner's bookplate inside upper cover; occasional fox spot. Very good condition. "This is the first history of the development of the subject which is the major source of information on Africa's past. Archaeologists have excavated in the continent for 200 years. The pace of this research has quickened over the last half-century. In this book some of the noted specialists pursue a regional approach and some examine particular periods of the continent's prehistory. Others chart the changing interrelationships between African archaeology and other disciplines. Particular features are the contributions by J.D. Clark, Thurstan Shaw and Peter Shinnie, archaeologists who have been in the forefront of the subject for almost fifty years." .
