Vanishing Potters in the Ubangi River Basin
Westward expansion of pearl millet agriculture into the Lac de Guiers basin, Senegal, by c. AD 200

A new archaeological chrono-cultural sequence for the rock art site of Ndalambiri, Cuanza Sul, Angola
Final Pleistocene Stone Age occupations are reported from the Angolan National Heritage site of Ndalambiri Rockshelter. • A stratigraphic sequence exceeding 2.5 m in depth encompasses the Early and Late Iron Age in Angola. • The earliest evidence of contextualized iron production in Angola dates to the 5th century CE. • The material culture is associated with the Phase II and Phase III rock art panels. • Technological continuity is observed in bo…
First Evidence of Burial Practices and Stone Constructions from the 15th Century a.d. Pre-Colonial Middle Cuanza River, Angola
Caculo Cabaça is a newly identified site located in the middle course of the Cuanza River in Angola documenting an extended human settlement dated to the 15th century a.d. It displays the earliest known evidence of dry-stone architectural practices in central Angola, including tumuli, stone platforms, and wall foundations. We present the first series of radiocarbon dates recovered from burial contexts, including the only known archaeological crem…
An Archaeology of the Bantu Expansion
The coevolution of languages, peoples and environments in Central Africa’s Kwilu-Kasai region since ∼1000 BCE
In this article, Jan Vansina’s essay on the deep-time population history of the Kwilu-Kasai region, now more than half a century old, is revisited through the kaleidoscopic lens of newly collected linguistic, archaeological, palaeoecological and genetic evidence collected between 2018 and 2023. In contrast to Vansina’s view of the region as a terminus for the settlement of diverse Bantu speech communities, the area was likely an important center …
Ka old evidence of pressure flaking in the Congo basin, Democratic Republic of Congo

Along the Middle Senegal Valley and Beyond
During the first millennium BC , West Africa was in the midst of social, political, technological, and environmental change. The Diallowali site system, located along the western edge of the Middle Senegal Valley ( MSV ), is one of the few sites from this period to be intensively investigated and has produced a wealth of data regarding these processes. By considering a variety of artifacts, including stone tools, copper, iron, and worked bone, as…
The beginning of the Iron Age south of the Congo rainforest
Archaeological investigations of the Idiofa region in the Kwilu Province of the Democratic Republic of Congo have yielded the earliest evidence for iron production, combined with ceramics and lithic artefacts, south of the Congo rainforest during the second century BC. Palaeoecological data show that the producers of this industry did not settle in open grasslands but in a habitat where the forests had started to undergo climate-induced degradati…
The Tichitt Culture and the Malian Lakes Region
The Tichitt culture of the Ceramic Late Stone Age is known for its large settlement sites, built from dry stone walls. It is centered on the cliffs of southeastern Mauritania, but its links to the Middle Niger and the later urban developments there have long been a topic of research. This article adds a further piece of evidence linking the two regions. The available evidence for a set of stone-walled features is presented, around 300 sites of va…
