    ENCYCLOPEDIA OF PRECOLONIAL AFRICA archeology, HISTORY, LANGUAGES, CULTURE,AND ENVIRONMENTS. JOSEPH O. VOGEL, ED. WALNUT CREEK, CA ALTAMIRA PRESS,  
    http://web.africa.ufl.edu/asq/v2/v2i1a7.htm
    
    Extractions: Joseph Vogel's edited volume is a welcome compendium of topics on pre-colonial Africa. It brings together an impressive array of authors, topics, and ideas that will allow the book to serve as a reference for those needing to venture outside their specializations on Africa. African history can suffer from the same problem that other colonized areas experience in the minds of many, that is the assumption that its history starts with colonialism because a comparative abundance of records from that era exists. This volume, then, serves the wider purpose of bringing, in an easily accessible way, some balance to this problem. The encyclopedia format is useful, not so much for ease of reference, but for the shorter pieces contained in the volume, allowing a much more amplified breadth than would otherwise be possible. After a fairly comprehensive introduction, the book is organized into five sections dealing with African environments, histories of research, technology, people and agriculture, and the prehistory of Africa. Regrettably, the shortest section is on African environments. It covers an enormous range of time and space in too few pages. Given the large interest in various disciplinary communities with the type and extent of vegetation zones existing prior to recorded history, it is surprising that this topic is given such short treatment.

    Extractions: A bout 3.6 million years ago, three early hominids were walking across the plains of what is now known as Laetoli in East Africa when the volcano Sadiman erupted, showering the earth with ashes. A light rain was falling at the same time, and as the hominids continued to walk, each footprint they made was cast into the mixture of muddy ash. When the impressions later dried, the result was two rows of footprints; apparently, two of the hominids walked side by side, the third, perhaps a juvenile, trailed behind the one on the right, stepping in the footprints of his predecessor. T hree and a half million years later, these footprints were to be found by Mary Leakey and her team of archaeologists. The incredible find, however, is more than just an important archaeological discovery, although it is certainly that. The finding of actual footprints from humankind's ancient ancestors represents the true grandeur of the archaeological bounty to be found in Africa, as well as how far the archaeology of human evolution has come. Only fifty years before the footprint find of 1978, very few scientists believed humans had originated in Africa. Practically ignoring Raymond Dart's Taung Baby from South Africa, attention on the search for the earliest humans was focused on China, where the Peking Man skull was found. Scientists such as Sir Arthur Keith, who wrote

    Extractions: This is a large and ambitious work, whose "primary function" is to be a "summary of the current state of Africanist archeology" (20). As such, it is successful. The volume also includes limited attempts at including information on languages and cultures. Because they draw almost exclusively on archeological sources, the articles on Cultures or "Lifeways" are less successful. Regrettably, the terms "pre-colonial," "colonialism," "pre-historic," and "Stone-age" are not defined and therefore offer some potential for confusion. The importance of African archaeology is noted by Brian Fagan, pointing out that "Africa's archaeological record [of] 2.5 million years is the longest in the world" (51). He observes that "in Africa, archaeology is a...

    Extractions: Archaeological Tourism Public Archaeology and Archaeological Tourism Public Archaeology and Mining Some Journals relating to Southern African Archaeology Public Archaeology and Archaeological Tourism The numbers of visitors - local and overseas tourists - to a limited range of archaeological sites in the Northern Cape, in recent years, shows a burgeoning interest. It is our hope that more sites can be made accessible in this way, and to the benefit of communities living near to the sites. The Khoisan Legacy Project, Northern Cape Rock Art Trust, and this museum, are just some of the organisations seeking to help make such sites better known. An enormous responsibility rests on developers, that the integrity of each site is preserved; that the resource is sustainable in the long term. The South African Heritage Resources Agency (SAHRA) has drafted guidelines for this, and it is necessary for a land-owner or developer of a site to obtain a permit before opening a site to the public. It is hoped that greater public awareness of the sites, and of the issues involved in their preservation, will help in conserving them for generations to come.

    My primary research interests are in eastern african archaeology, africanArchaeology, Peoples and Cultures of Africa, Archaeology of Colonial  
    http://www.virginia.edu/anthropology/adria.html
    
    Extractions: My primary research interests are in eastern African archaeology, particularly that of later medium-range and large-scale societies, and the interface between archaeology, ethnology, and history. Throughout the last 2,000 years, the eastern African coast and its hinterland has been a mosaic of hunting/gathering, pastoralist, mixed farming and urban societies, interacting in the context of migrations, long-distance trade, technological transformations, religious conversions, alliances and hostility, internationalism, and colonialism. The variety of middle-range (or `chiefdom') societies and urban forms in Africa has become central to later African archaeological research, and it is Swahili urbanism where my current research lies. The above project builds on research I developed while teaching archaeology at the University of Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, in the late 1980s. After working with students on coastal village sites, I began research at Pujini, a 15th-16th-century palatial Swahili settlement on Pemba. My vantage point from that political center led to my looking at Pemba as a series of interlocking regional systems. In 1997 I thus began excavating the large 8th-18th-century Swahili stonetown of Chwaka, linked to Pujini in extensive oral traditions on the island, focusing on the internal organization of the town itself. I have an active interest in African urbanisms generally. Inspired by questions about the organization of early towns in West Africa, I conducted an ethnoarchaeological study of craft producers in Jenne, Mali which recently appeared as a monograph. I am currently publishing the Pujini research and preliminary research from Chwaka. I am committed to working closely with colleagues and students in Tanzania on issues of representation of Swahili culture. I engage in public-minded archaeology in Tanzania through the production of interpretive museum displays and teaching materials, making presentations in municipal and local forums, and maintaining a lively dialogue with the Swahili communities in which I conduct research.
