The Sangha River Interval, Its Earliest Village Settlements, and the Bantu-Speakers’ Expansion During the Late Holocene (Cameroon, Central African Republic, Congo Republic)
First Archaeological Excavations Along the Atlantic Ocean Coastline of the Democratic Republic of Congo
Using the radiocarbon dates of Central Africa for studying long-term demographic trends of the last 50,000 years
This paper presents the first review of biases impacting Pleistocene and Holocene radiocarbon dates from Central Africa. Based on the pooling of the research expertise of the co-authors, twenty-four biases are listed, explained and documented and their impact on any radiocarbon date corpus demonstrated. To achieve this, a new corpus has been created of 1764 radiocarbon and TL assays from 601 archaeological sites published in the literature. Each …
West-Central African Diversity from the Stone Age to the Iron Age, Continuities and Transitions during the Late Pleistocene and the Holocene
The Carboneras Beach archaeological site on Bioko Island (Equatorial Guinea)
Off the coast of Cameroon, Bioko Island was populated by the Bubi at an early stage of the Bantu expansion, although surprisingly they did not use iron until the arrival of the Europeans much later. Unfortunately, despite some research having been undertaken, mostly during the Spanish colonial period, the local archaeological sequence remains poorly known. On the basis of some short excavations carried out on Bioko, this paper evaluates the state…
L’archéologie sur Internet
Alors que le principe d’Internet se met en place en 1989, ce n’est qu’en 1993 que la toile mondiale commence à se développer, en restant encore limitée aux centres de recherches et aux établissements d’enseignement supérieur. On relate ici la publication en 1998, dans le numéro 72 des Nouvelles de l’archéologie, des premiers textes faisant la promotion des contenus archéologiques sur le réseau, en rappelant quelle était la situation, en France pu…

The earliest iron-producing communities in the Lower Congo region of Central Africa
In 2015 the KongoKing research project team excavated the Bu, Kindu and Mantsetsi sites situated in the Kongo-Central Province of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). All are part of the Kay Ladio Group. This is the first detailed publication on this cultural group, to which no contemporary ones can currently be linked, either from the Atlantic coast of Congo-Brazzaville or from along the Congo River and its tributaries upstream of Kinshasa. D…

The KongoKing Project
In order to understand the origins of the Kongo kingdom, the KongoKing research group conducted a first survey in the area usually regarded as the former kingdom’s provincial capital sites of Mbanza Nsundi and Mbanza Mbata in the Lower Congo Province of the DRC during the summer of 2012. Several test excavations and radiocarbon dates are starting to shed some light on the last five centuries in the area.
Middle to Late Holocene Paleoclimatic Change and the Early Bantu Expansion in the Rain Forests of Western Central Africa
This article reviews evidence from biogeography, palynology, geology, historical linguistics, and archaeology and presents a new synthesis of the paleoclimatic context in which the early Bantu expansion took place. Paleoenvironmental data indicate that a climate crisis affected the Central African forest block during the Holocene, first on its periphery around 4000 BP and later at its core around 2500 BP.We argue here that both phases had an impa…
The Elusive Archaeology of Kongo Urbanism
African-European Contacts in the Kongo Kingdom (Sixteenth-Eighteenth Centuries)
Une archéologie des provinces septentrionales du royaume Kongo
This text presents in detail the results of archaeological research carried out by the KongoKing project in the former northern provinces of the Kongo Kingdom, currently located in the Democratic Republic of Congo
Vers Une Réduction Des Préjugés et la Fonte Des Antagonismes
E. Zangato’s 2007 book on the Oboui archaeological site in the Central African Republic has been read and commented. This contextualised reading leads to questioning some of the data published in the Journal of African Archaeology in 2010. At that time a very old date for the earliest iron smelting south of the Sahara was suggested. However, a detailed examination of chronological data from West, Central and East Africa leads one to date the more…
Shell and Glass Beads from the Tombs of Kindoki, Mbanza Nsundi, Lower Congo
The ancient Kingdom of Kongo originated in Central Africa in the 14th century. In the 15th century, the Portuguese organized tight contacts with the Bakongo. From then on European goods gained new significance in the local culture and even found their way into funerary rites. Among the most important grave goods in the Kingdom of Kongo were shell and glass beads. They occur in many tombs and symbolize wealth, status, or femininity. At the burial …

Étude des restes humains de Kindoki (République démocratique du Congo, fin xviie-début xixesiècle)
Nous présentons l'étude anthropologique de dix individus provenant d'un cimetière situé sur la colline de Kindoki au Kongo central (RDC). Ils ont été exhumés en 2012 et 2013 dans le cadre du projet KongoKing qui consistait en une approche interdisciplinaire de l'histoire ancienne du royaume Kongo. Ce cimetière contient des inhumations datées du xviieau xixesiècle, très probablement celles de nobles de haut rang. Les défunts étaient accompagnés d'…

Pour une archéologie du royaume Kongo
A synthesis of archaeological research in and around the Kongo kingdom is outlined. It is shown that publications dealing with the Late Iron Age are few in number for a time segment which saw the birth and development of such social complexity as the Kongo kingdom. A general picture of Late Iron Age ceramic groups in Lower-Congo is drawn. One of the ceramic Groups, Group II, dated to AD 1400–1800, is thoroughly discussed. The ceramic style, dates…

Mise en évidence dans le nord-ouest du Gabon de la présence de l’Homme au sein des forêts d’âge Holocène
Evidence of human occupation reaching back to 40,000 years ago in North-West Gabon has been identified. A paleo-environmental study coupled with archaeological research show that forests have been present for at least 6,000 to 9,000 years and therefore the last hunter-gatherers and early villagers lived in a forest environment. This case study presents the oldest direct evidence linking human settlements with a forest environment lasting several …
Archaeological charcoals as archives for firewood preferences and vegetation composition during the late Holocene in the southern Mayumbe, Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC)
Early Bantu Settlements in West-Central Africa
Recent fieldwork carried out during 1985 and 1986 in Gabon and in Equatorial Guinea (west-central Africa) by the archaeology department of the Centre International des Civilisations Bantu has yielded very promising early results. On the basis of 54 radiocarbon dates so far processed with the aid of the Paléogab project of the Ecole Normale Supérieure, Libreville, a first tentative chrono-stratigraphic sequence for this part of west-central Africa…
