Examining Late Pastoral Neolithic Settlement at Silanga (GvJm52), Lukenya Hill, Kenya
Close relationships between human and animal living spaces have been a central element of the settlements of pastoralist communities in eastern Africa since the introduction of herding c. 5000 BP. The spatial organisation of pastoralist architecture and material deposits within settlements has been the subject of much ethnographic and ethnoarchaeological research designed to identify variation in social practices and cultural contexts. However, b…
Flow’ and satisfaction of Michigan youth waterfowl hunters: Implications for hunter retention
A consistent decrease in the number of individuals taking up recreational hunting in North America is cause for concern by game management agencies. As older hunters retire from hunting, young hunters provide a natural segue for future hunting populations. Measures of ‘flow’ and satisfaction with hunting experiences provide valuable information about youth and the potential for retention. Flow theory and satisfaction were used to: (a) characteriz…
Pro-environmental behavior in sport event tourism: Roles of Event Attendees and Destinations
Sport event tourism destinations hope that their green event operations will encourage event attendees to adopt pro-environmental behaviors. Yet little research has examined whether event attendees have greater awareness of destination environmental responsibility and whether, if so, it improves their environmental behavior. This study aims to examine whether sport event attendees' pro-environmental behavior at home differs from their behavior at…

Evidence for Predation and Pastoralism at Prolonged Drift: A Pastoral Neolithic Site in Kenya
This important paper offers a fresh and stimulating approach to the interpretation of a large faunal assemblage from an excavated site. There are interesting implications in regard to present-day land use—an aspect of archaeology to which too little attention has been paid. The principal author, Dr Gifford is Assistant Professor in The Board of Studies in Anthropology, University of California. This paper reports in detail on the largest faunal a…

The University of Massachusetts' Later Stone Age/Pastoral ‘Neolithic’ Comparative Study in Central Kenya: An Overview
The preliminary results of an intensive thirteen-month field programme are reported. Components of this programme included (I) an archaeological survey of the central Rift Valley stratified using elevation and precipitation, (2) test excavations at nine sites, (3) a re-evaluation of the geological stratigraphy and archaeology of Nderit Drift, (4) a witness section at Lion Hill Cave, (5) a re-analysis of archaeological material from Gamble's Cave,…
The Stone Tools from the Re-excavation of Nsongezi Rock Shelter, Uganda
Although Nsongezi rock shelter has been the object of numerous investigations and publications, very little has been written about the "Later Stone Age" industry represented at this and other excavated sites in southern Uganda. This article provides a descriptive analysis of a stratified series obtained from the most recent excavations at Nsongezi rock shelter. The artefacts recovered from these excavations represent a "Wilton" industry and are d…
Rock Paintings and Excavations at Nyero, Uganda
This article describes a rock shelter with a comparatively recent ‘Late Stone Age’ occupation, with a certain amount of pottery in the upper levels. Dr. Posnansky was Assistant Director of the Institute when the field work was carried out; he is now Professor of Archaeology in the University of Ghana. Mr. Nelson, of the University of California at Berkeley, provides an exhaustive analysis of the stone industry
