This volume examines the archaeology of precolonial West African societies in the era of the trans-Atlantic slave trade. Using historical and archaeological perspectives on landscape, this collection of essays sheds light on how involvement in the commercial revolutions of the early modern period dramatically reshaped the regional contours of political organization across West Africa.

Societal repercussions of the rise of large-scale traditional iron production: A West African example

The first serious scholarly attempt at quantification of …
