The Prester John of the Indies
This is an account of the Portuguese mission which landed at Massawa on the west coast of the Red Sea in April 1520 and re-embarked 6 years later. It was the first European embassy known to have reached the Ethiopian court and returned safely from it. It was a small group of fourteen, among whom was the chronicler Alvares, who wrote the most detailed early account of the country, valuable for Ethiopian history and the history of the expansion of …

The Town of Amud, Somalia
The author of this note, G.W.B. Huntingford, who died recently, had a varied and distinguished life in East African countries and at the School of Oriental and African Studies in London. We are pleased to publish this account of one of the early towns of northern Somalia, which he visited 35 years ago. It is a useful contribution to the meagre knowledge of the archaeology of the region, and calls to mind the author's great contribution to studies…

The Glorious Victories of 'Amda Seyon, King of Ethiopia
The wealth of kings' and the end of the Zāguē dynasty
In the Dark Ages there was a break in the ruling dynasty of Ethiopia, and the kingdom fell into the hands of a line called Zāguē, of Agaw origin from Beguenā. (Bugnā), which made its capital at Roha in Lāstā. There is much that is obscure about the events that led to the Zaguē usurpation; the orthodox Ethiopian view, as expressed in the Be'ela nagaśtāt, was that God was angry with the House of David (the dynasty which they believe to be descended…
The City States of East Africa
The Constitutional History of Ethiopia
Between 1959 and 1961 I worked with an Ethiopian research student, Gētāčaw Takla Māryām, on the constitutional history of Ethiopia from the Aksumite period (first to fourth centuries A.D.) to the end of the seventeenth century. So far as could be discovered, no serious attempt has yet been made to deal with this subject by means of strict documentation. The first step therefore has been to collect from printed Ethiopic material (mainly written in…

The Distribution of Certain Culture Elements in East Africa
THE PEOPLES OF EASTERN AFRICA are divided among five main ethnic and cultural groups: Bush, Hunting, Negro, Hamitic, and Nile Valley, with a sixth, linguistic, grouping which comprises peoples of mixed stocks speaking Bantu languages. These terms need defining. By Bush Peoples is meant those whose level of cultural achievement has not progressed beyond that of the Bushmen of Southern Africa, and in East Africa, specifically, the term refers to th…

The Azanian Civilization of Kenya
During the last few years archaeological research has revealed a remarkable, though not altogether unexpected, view of Stone Age man in Kenya; and at the same time it has been realized that there existed at some period between the Stone Age and medieval times a civilization which has left traces over a large part of East Africa. This civilization appears to be quite distinct from the Stone Age cultures, and there is so far no evidence to connect …

Defences against Cattle-Raiding
When I suggested, in commenting on this quotation, that an African cattle-thief would laugh at Beech Bottom dyke, Mr Crawford did not agree; and the idea that seems to prevail with regard to the stopping-power of a ditch and bank is responsible for these notes.Cattle-defences may be considered under two heads: 1, Fences: 2, Dykes: the latter being actually of secondary importance when the object in view is to keep cattle in or out; and stockades …

Cecil Curwen, containing a survey of prehistoric agriculture in Britain.2 These papers, which are of considerable interest to the farmer as well as to the archaeologist, have suggested the following remarks, which I was unable to put on paper before as some of my books were in England
