Ethnoarchaeology
An archaeometallurgical investigation of iron smithing in Swahili contexts and its wider implications
This paper presents the most extensive archaeometallurgical study of iron-smithing debris excavated in East Africa. It presents an integrated methodology, including morphological, chemical, petrographic, and contextual analysis of iron slag excavated from secondary ironworking contexts. Iron slag from three Swahili sites was analysed-Unguja Ukuu located on the southwestern coast of Zanzibar, and Tumbe and Chwaka situated in the north-east of Pemb…
Assembling Islamic practice in a Swahili urban landscape, 11th-16th centuries
Spanning c. 1050-1500 CE, a burgeoning Swahili community called Chwaka built a sequence of four mortared coral mosques in their town of wattle-and-daub houses on Pemba Island, Tanzania. The mosques' placement, construction, and use played an active role in creating and strengthening an Islamic community and help us define changes in social practice within the town and the larger polity in which it existed. It is argued that the construction of ea…
Developments in Rural Life on the Eastern African Coast, a.d. 700–1500
The eastern African coast is known for its Swahili “stonetowns.” Archaeological study of stonetowns has overshadowed that of Swahili rural life, and how it reformulated in the context of urban transformations after a.d. 1000. To help redress that imbalance, we focus here on village research carried out in a Swahili heartland—Pemba Island, Tanzania—in the context of two archaeological projects. We feature four settlements: later 1st millennium Kim…

When Did the Swahili Become Maritime
In this article, we examine an assumption about the historic Swahili of the eastern African coast: that they were a maritime society from their beginnings in the first millennium C.E. Based on historical and archaeological data, we suggest that, despite their proximity to and use of the sea, the level of maritimity of Swahili society increased greatly over time and was only fully realized in the early second millennium C.E. Drawing on recent theo…
Swahili Historical Chronicles from an Archaeological Perspective
This chapter focuses on the historical chronicles of three Swahili towns on the coast of southern Tanzania, drawing on archaeological data from survey and excavation in the region. More specifically, it examines how the three chronicles challenge the dichotomy between history and prehistory on two levels. First, as transcribed oral traditions, Swahili chronicles break down the dichotomy between oral and written sources, and thus implicitly betwee…
The early Swahili trade village of Tumbe, Pemba Island, Tanzania, AD 600-950
Indian Ocean maritime networks have become a special focus of research in recent years, with emphasis not only on the economics of trade but also the movement of domesticated plants and animals (see Fulleret al. inAntiquity2011: 544-58). But did such contacts inevitably lead to radical social change? Excavations at Tumbe reveal a settlement of the late first millennium AD that was heavily engaged in the traffic in exotic materials and may have be…

Bead grinders and early Swahili household economy
This paper focuses on a specific class of locally made artifacts known in the archaeological literature of the eastern African coast as bead grinders. Bead grinders are discarded potsherds or stone cobbles distinguished by long grooves abraded into their surfaces. Although they are some of the most commonly located artifacts on late first-millennium AD coastal sites, few close analyses of them have been conducted. Here we examine a particularly l…
