Abstract: | These contributions examine the role of early pottery in the economies of the rainforest zone of West Central Africa and the question of whether particular crops were formally cultivated in the forest and its edges and clearings before the Iron Age and during its earlier part. Pierre de Maret pays particular attention to the rock-shelter of Shum Laka, in the Grassfields of Cameroon. Richard Oslisly looks at sites in the middle Ogooué valley (Gabon). Manfred K.H. Eggert examines early ceramics in the central part of the forest, that is the inner Congo/Zaire basin, where a number of major rivers were archaeologically explored between 1977 and 1987. Bibliogr. |
