Cross cultural exchanges in the ancient world

Information about Azania was first provided by the Romans - Pliny the Elder, Claudius Ptolemy, and sources such as the Periplus of the Erythraean Sea. Apart from the Romans, other people of the Middle East, …
Neolithic and Early Iron Age Settlements of Mount Kilimanjaro’s Southern Slopes
Some received theories argue that the modern Chagga people of Mount Kilimanjaro are recent immigrants; however the findings assembled here suggest otherwise. Archaeological surveys and excavations conducted on the southern slopes of Mount Kilimanjaro have revealed sites of the Early Iron Age ( E.I.A. ) and the Neolithic period. Thus archaeological analyses demonstrate that the Chagga, as Bantu speakers, are of cultural and genetic affiliation to …
The Geographical Extent of Azania
The Romans identified East Africa as Azania. The Chinese as Zezan. The metropolis of Rhapta was indicated to be the capital of Azania. In recent times a controversy emerged as to the location of Azania and Rhapta. A discussion has also occurred regarding the kind of people who settled in Azania. Whereas some scholars agree that the core of Azania was in East Africa modern, the geographical extent of Azania is in question. Archaeological, historic…
The Cultural History and Chronology of Kisimani Mafia Stone Town Site, Mafia Archipelago, Tanzania
Management of Sacred Heritage Places in Tanzania
The use and management of sacred sites that are still in use provide challenges to site managers since visitors fail to abide by rules established for the sacred area. In this study, it was revealed that there are ritual practices, strict taboos and customary laws put in place to control access to cave areas which are regarded as sacred to the locals. The habit of visitors not adhering to the established regulations when visiting caves and their …
Ancient seafaring in Eastern African Indian Ocean waters
This contribution analyses historical texts from the Egyptian and Graeco-Roman worlds, and compares their accounts with the latest archaeological discoveries in East Africa, many made by the author in Tanzania, to assess the extent of seafaring, especially maritime trade, along the East African littoral of the Indian Ocean. It argues that people from the old-world civilizations visited the coastline of East Africa in search of various resources a…

L'etude de la cote est-africaine au Ier mill. apr. J.-C. est documentee par les sources litteraires greco-romaine, pour les deux premiers siecles et par la litterature arabe, et occasionellement chinoise, pour les IXe et Xe s. L'importante lacune des sources ecrites sur le milieu du millenaire ne doit pas faire penser a une coupure de l'occupation de cette region. Il n'en reste pas moins que les archeologues eprouvent des difficultes a identifier…
Limbo
This report on fieldwork and excavations undertaken in 1987 establishes the Limbo site in the Early Iron Age tradition of East Africa on account of pottery with Kwale affinities, and reveals iron-working activities there in the early part of the first millennium AD. A latter Iron Age tradition is also attested, probably dating about the end of the same millenium or the beginning of the second millennium. The latter period is distinguished by unde…
