The Kapthurin Formation revisited
Early Iron Furnaces with ‘Bricks’ in Rwanda
The Archaeology of Central Africa
The Economic and Social Context of Southern San Rock Art [and Comments and Reply]
This paper suggests a new theoretical framework for understanding southern San rock art. The traditional explanations have been either innatist or functionalist. To escape the tautology of the former and the restrictions of the latter it is suggested that the articulation between the art and the social relations of production be sought. This articulation was expressed in the activities of medicine men, whose symbolic work acted upon the reproduct…
The Early Iron Age in the Interlacustrine Region
The present paper describes twenty-four Early Iron Age sites. The pottery from these sites is currently grouped into six traditions: Tshamfu, Nyirankuba, Mukinanira, Masangano, Mikweti and Kawezi.11 A critical analysis of the twenty-three radiocarbon dates, considered as valid for the Interlacustrine Early Iron Age Industry, suggests a time span roughly covering the first millennium a.d. Furthermore, it is suggested that a proto-Bantu, or Bantu-s…
Radiocarbon Dates from West Central Africa
Grâce aux recherches récentes, le nombre de dates C 14 disponibles pour l'Afrique centrale s'est considérablement accru. Une synthèse critique de toutes les datations connues est présentée ici. Malgré une apparente bonne coïncidence entre les dates et les industries lithiques de la partie ouest, un examen minutieux montre la nécessité de redéfinir l'ensemble des industries lithiques généralement distinguées. Dans la partie est, le microlithique e…
Excavations at Matupi cave
The Matupi cave is one of the 40 caves within the Mount Hoyo limestone massif, a touristic site in Ituri, Zaïre. The author recognized its archaeological possibilities in February 1973 during a prospection tour in the northern part of the country. This expedition had been organized by the Institut des Musées nationaux du ZaYre in collaboration with the Musée royal de l'Afrique centrale at Tervuren, Belgium. Upon the visit to the cave a I sq m tri…
Kalambo Falls Prehistoric Site. II
Behavioral Analysis and the Structure of a Prehistoric Industry [and Comments and Reply]
Assuming that aboriginal behavior was recorded on chipped-stone implements and debitage, and assuming that the analyst can train himself to recognize and interpret that record, then a classification of lithic artifacts based on manufacturing behavior may be considered an inherent classification. Lithic behavioral classification is examined from the perspective of other archaeological classifications as well as from general taxonomic theory. Advan…
