Abstract:The author has worked on two chronological projects in Africa, both involving the integrated tasks of assembling evidence, testing and building, and both concerned with the development of a relatively definite chronology: 1. A survey of Interlacustrine chronology pulling together the evidence relating to chronology for the whole Interlacustrine region, structuring the evidence for testing against the whole body of evidence of tie-ins and genealogies, and considering in particular the length of a dynastic generation - 2. The construction of a definitive chronology as part of a study of the traditional history of Busoga, Uganda. After an introductory note on methodological questions follows presentation of the Interlacustrine zone chronology and of the Soga chronology. Notes, figures, chart, summary.
