Abstract: | Following the Introduction by Mary E. Prendergast, this special volume of Azania on Diversity in East African Holocene foraging and food producing communities opens with An ethnoarchaeological framework for the identification and distinction of Late Holocene archaeological sites in East Africa, by Kennedy K. Mutundu. Issues of inter-group contact between the communities under discussion are addressed by the next three papers, all of which explore aspects of foraging occupations associated with the Kansyore, a ceramic tradition spanning some six millennia (c. 6000 BC-AD 500): Holocene hunter-fisher-gatherer communities: new perspectives on Kansyore using communities of western Kenya, by Darla Dale and Ceri Z. Ashley; Lithics use at Kansyore sites in East Africa: technological organisation at four recently excavated sites in Nyanza Province, Kenya, by Oula Seitsonen; and Kansyore fisher-foragers and transitions to food production in East Africa: the view from Wadh Lang'o, Nyanza Province, western Kenya, by Mary E. Prendergast. Michael J. Causey concludes the volume with his paper entitled New archaeological discoveries from the Laikipia Plateau, Kenya. [ASC Leiden abstract] |
