High resolution multi-proxy analyses document Mid to Late-Holocene environmental change in arid Marsabit County, northern Kenya, East Africa
Pastoralism was first established in East Africa in the arid lowlands adjacent to Lake Turkana, northern Kenya, ~4800 years ago. Currently, there are limited palaeoecological records documenting the environmental conditions at the time of this transition, especially for areas east of Lake Turkana. To address this knowledge gap, sedimentary cores were recovered from the Chalbi Basin, Marsabit County, Kenya. These document a detailed environmental …

The Trade, Use, and Circulation of Elephant Ivory in Sub-Saharan Africa over the Longue Durée
Humans have utilized and exchanged ivory from different species of elephant living on the African continent for millennia, with ivory from both forest and savannah species being exploited. Starting around 4600 bp, elephant ivory sourced on the African continent also began to be exported to other parts of the world. The ways of working ivory, the uses to which it has been put, and its symbolic and representational meanings have all varied accordin…
Late Holocene environmental change and anthropogenic
East African ecosystems have been shaped by long-term socio-ecological–environmental interactions. Although much previous work on human–environment interrelationships have emphasised the negative impacts of human interventions, a growing body of work shows that there have also often been strong beneficial connections between people and ecosystems, especially in savanna environments. However, limited information and understanding of past interacti…
Slavery in Africa c. 500–1500 CE
The study of pre-modern (i.e. pre-sixteenth century) systems of enslavement and slave trading in sub-Saharan Africa have relied heavily on textual, especially Arabic, sources. By contrast, there have been few archaeological studies of these phenomena, although reference is often made to the Trans-Saharan and Red Sea/Indian Ocean slave trades in archaeological studies of early state formation and globalisation on the continent. This chapter provid…
Recent Approaches to the Archaeological Investigation of Slavery in Africa
For purposes altogether unscientific”
As citizens and human beings, archaeologists understandably desire that their work and expertise should have value as a public good adding to, rather than detracting from, individual and collective qualities of life, social jus tice and wellbeing Different generations of archaeologists have articulated such desires generally in keeping with the challenges of their times and their specific sociocultural perspectives. Given the accumulating body of…

Just How Long Does ‘Long-Term’ Have to Be?
The phrase ‘long term’ is increasingly used as a keyword descriptive for research proposals and outputs claiming to contribute to debates on past and future climate change, sustainable economies, and the resilience of different landscapes. Scholars from across the environmental and social sciences and the humanities are engaged in this kind of research and are keen to see their results used to influence policy and practice. While ostensibly addre…
Historical Ecologies of Pastoralist Overgrazing in Kenya
The spectre of ‘overgrazing’ looms large in historical and political narratives of ecological degradation in savannah ecosystems. While pastoral exploitation is a conspicuous driver of landscape variability and modification, assumptions that such change is inevitable or necessarily negative deserve to be continuously evaluated and challenged. With reference to three case studies from Kenya – the Laikipia Plateau, the Lake Baringo basin, and the A…
Forum
Anxieties about species extinction, habitat loss, and climate change attributed to the uninhibited commodification of nature-the "massive anthropogenic erosion of biodiversity"-are a theme of our times, marking the Anthropocene. 1 Some of the most acute and severe expressions of ecological guilt and "endangerment sensibilities," expressed in the media and the social and cultural sciences alike, revolve around the waning of "wild" fauna, flora, an…
The Archaeology of Colonial Encounters in Coastal East Africa
Vulnerability, risk, resilience

Anthropological contributions to historical ecology
This paper presents the results of a consensus-driven process identifying 50 priority research questions for historical ecology obtained through crowdsourcing, literature reviews, and in-person workshopping. A deliberative approach was designed to maximize discussion and debate with defined outcomes. Two in-person workshops (in Sweden and Canada) over the course of two years and online discussions were peer facilitated to define specific key ques…
Ethnoarchaeology
The Routledge Handbook of Archaeology and Globalization
Because so much of how we read the past is conditioned by ideas and descriptions that grew out of that past, globalization thinking potentially provides us with fresh opportunities to re-examine history through new lenses and discover detail and trends previously obscured. However, globalization has itself succumbed to similar tendencies. Indeed, part of the diculty in understanding globalization lies in the way the term has been captured by vest…
New Directions for Historical Archaeology in Eastern Africa
Recent years have seen growth in the number of historical archaeology studies in Eastern Africa. Combining critical analysis of material remains alongside the available documentary and oral sources, these offer new insights into the precolonial and colonial pasts of the region. However, the field is less well established than in either West or Southern Africa and the full potential of the subdiscipline has yet to be realised. This contribution re…
The Green, Green Grass of Home
This paper considers the ecological residues of pastoralist occupation at the site of Maili Sita in Laikipia, central Kenya, drawing links with the archaeological record so as to contribute a fresh approach to the ephemeral settlement sites of mobile herding communities, a methodological aspect of African archaeology that remains problematic. Variations in the geochemical and micromorphological composition of soils along transects across the site…
Archaeology in the age of the Anthropocene
Recent decades have witnessed heightened public and governmental awareness of the nature and scale of environmental challenges likely to face the planet over the course of the next fifty to one hundred years. Scholars from across a broad range of disciplines have been drawn into these debates and have begun to reorient their research towards finding solutions to some of the most pressing problems and to devising more sustainable and resilient liv…
Introduction
It was maendeleo that removed them
Recent decades have witnessed a growth in approaches to research and writing across anthropology's four fields that emphasize the need to respect alternative narratives and constructions of history, and to engage with anthropology's 'publics'. These developments have generated more ethically responsible research and more inclusive writing practices. Nevertheless, the actual doing of cross-cultural collaboration and knowledge production remains a …
Being ‘Indigenous’ and Being ‘Colonized’ in Africa
The Archaeological Potential for Reconstructing the History of Labor Relations in East Africa, c. 1500–1900
Previous studies of past labor relations in different parts of Africa have relied almost entirely on documentary sources. While such records can provide valuable insights into the range of different labor categories that have existed and the relative proportions of the population involved, for much of the continent they are severely restricted in a temporal sense. Thus, for many areas suitable documentary materials covering the periods prior to 1…
Commentary
This commentary explores the intersection of the different ethical concerns raised by the contributors. In particular it discusses the need to move beyond simple rule following and regulation in order to incorporate the dual notions of ‘care of the self’ and the ‘constitution of persons through their relationships to other persons’ as fundamental to the creation of ethical subjects within the field of African archaeology

Future Urban Growth and Archaeological Heritage Management
Projected future urban growth in Africa is anticipated to be considerable, although estimates vary as to the overall likely scale of this, its spatial distribution within different countries, and the likely drivers and rates of change. Regardless of these details, urban expansion is likely to pose one of the most significant threats to the archaeological resources of the continent, and appropriate measures are urgently needed to mitigate against …
