Technological Variability at Mochena Borago Rockshelter, Ethiopia: A Contribution to Understanding MIS 3 Cultural Change in the Horn of Africa
Non-Levallois core reduction strategies for producing elongated flakes or blades appear early in the African Middle Stone Age ( MSA ) but have rarely been studied in detail. In this paper we present a detailed comparative analysis of non-Levallois lithic technologies at Mochena Borago Rockshelter, SW Ethiopia, from strata dating to around 46 to 36 ka, with a focus on the technological solutions and quality of blade production. Although there is a…

The Pre-Aksumite Period: Indigenous origins and development in the Horn of Africa
The Pre-Aksumite Period (mid-second to late first millennia BC) witnessed the rise of complex societies in the Horn of Africa. Archaeological survey and excavations in the Gulo Makeda region of Eastern Tigrai by the Eastern Tigrai Archaeological Project (ETAP) have produced new data and insights into this critical juncture in the cultural history of the region. Based on data from Mezber and other archaeological sites, we present a new Pre-Aksumit…
Years of small game hunting in southern Somalia
Archaeologists relate increasing forager reliance on small animals and broad-spectrum resource use to environmental and demographic changes in temperate regions during Marine Isotope Stage (MIS) 2, 29-14.7 thousand years ago (ka), and MIS 1, after 14.7 ka. However, little research has examined the factors that influenced small game hunting in the arid and semi-arid tropics of eastern Africa during this period. To address this research gap, we rep…

I’m actually your worst nightmare’: Intergenerational dialogues of social workers in search of the political
There is an ongoing debate about the depoliticisation of social work. In this debate, the finger of blame is pointed to the newest generation, as they are likely to be more inclined to have an individualised and controlling perspective on clients, and to be less involved in a social justice approach. In this article, we explore intergenerational dialogues as a non-formal approach to this debate. Intergenerational dialogues have a discursive value…
The Caged Bird Sings: The Voice of the Workfare Generation
Social work literature suggests that three depoliticisation tendencies characterise the youngest generation of social workers. First, they exhibit less interest in the structural level of social problems. Secondly, they are supposed to incline towards the idea of welfare conditionality. And thirdly, they are evolving towards increasingly shallow technical, box-ticking professionals. As such, this generation of social workers seems to conform with…

A multi-layered repertoire: Professional perspectives in times of workfare
All over the western world, welfare states are eroded and reshaped. Little empirical evidence have shown how these shifts in the welfare state conjunct with or are an issue for professional practices. To shed light to this matter, we will discuss a study conducted in a public welfare centre in Ghent. Particular attention has been given to the professional perspectives of the social workers. Professional perspectives serve as frameworks of referen…

Coming Up for Air: Exploring an Intergenerational Perspective on Social Work
From the late 1980s until now, scholars, educators and social workers have criticised the diminution of interest in the structural level of social problems. In this lament, former social work is beguiled, while critiques are targeted at the new generation of social workers. These critiques forewarn of important issues and problems, but at the same time they portray social work in a devolutionary way. It is argued that this one-sided debate concea…

An Archaeological Survey of the Tropical Highlands of Kafa, Southwestern Ethiopia
The cool, moist, tropical highlands of southwest Ethiopia contrast dramatically with arid environments in the rest of the Horn of Africa. They have seen little archaeological research due to their remote location, wet conditions, and acidic soils and volcanic rocks thought to harbor few shelters or open-air sites capable of organic preservation. In 2004–2005, the Kafa Archaeological Project documented 27 shelters of diverse height, configuration,…

Early Holocene mortuary practices and hunter-gatherer adaptations in southern Somalia
Recent archaeological excavations of a large rocksheiter at Buur Heybe, southern Somalia, resulted in the discovery of fourteen human burials of early Holocene age. The Gogoshiis Qabe burials represent: 1) the first primary context prehistoric skeletal remains from Somalia; 2) the earliest chronometrically dated burials from the Horn of Africa (Somalia, Ethiopia and Djibouti); and 3) the earliest definitive evidence in eastern Africa for grave go…
Pastoral rock art in the Horn of Africa: Making sense of udder chaos
Pastoral rock art, composed of the prehistoric paintings and engravings of domestic animals, is one of the most impressive yet least understood aspects of the archaeology of the Horn of Africa. Previous studies of more than one hundred pastoral rock art sites in the Horn have focused almost exclusively upon description, chronology and stylistic distribution. This paper presents an alternative perspective by developing a cultural ecological model …
