Iron sails the seas: A maritime history of African diaspora iron technology
This paper explores the maritime history of ironworking in the African diaspora. Although iron metallurgy is usually thought of as a landlocked activity, blacksmiths were onboard most transatlantic voyages. Ships and dockyards became critical sites of this mobility and the resultant technology transfer. Apart from the necessary tools on voyages, every ship had a blacksmith, the highest paid among its specialist craftsmen. By the eighteenth centur…

African metallurgy in the Atlantic world
Archeological Implications of Traditional House Construction Among the Nchumuru of Northern Ghana [and Comments and Reply]
Ethnographic data from the Nchumuru settlement of Wiae, Kete-Krachi District, northern Volta Region, Ghana, are used to examine the manner in which earth-walled houses in Nchumuru traditional settlements are transferred from the systemic to the archeological record. Archeological survey and excavation of two early Nchumuru sites were conducted to establish the extent to which the observed cultural and natural processes of house and settlement dev…
Iron is iron 'til it is rust: Trade and Ecology in the Decline of West African Iron-Smelting
Archaeological evidence and historical accounts have been used to examine the impact of trade and ecology on the decline of West African iron industries. Environmental changes including an increasingly desiccating climatic shift and widespread deforestation as a direct result of fuel procurement over centuries of iron-smelting and European coastal exploitation, seriously affected the survivability of these industries. While the increasing importa…
