The Impact of Agribusiness Development Policies on Water Resources
As the water crisis intensifies around the world, environmental and social shocks such as livelihood loss, conflicts, and tragic depletion of water resources arise. While agribusiness development policies aim at improving the economy, it ignores the governance of limited water resources, vulnerable environment, and rural communities. In this study, we investigate socio-economic and environmental effects of hydro-agricultural policies in the Souss…
Urban art in North-eastern Africa
An introduction is presented to the urban art, mostly of painted advertisements on public buildings, in Western and Northern Ethiopia, with a short reference to the rare cases observed in nearby Sudan. It is also an opportunity to consider some of the folk paintings housed in the Asosa Ethnographic Museum (Benishangul-Gumuz, Western Ethiopia) re-installed by the authors in 2006-2009. Finally, a painter of this type of art, as well as funeral port…
Lead isotopic provenance of some coins and other bronze items from an early Swahili site in Ibo Island (northern Mozambique)
Northern Mozambique has traditionally been considered marginal within the Swahili trade of the western Indian Ocean due to the absence of outstanding harbour stone-built towns. However, our research on Ibo island (Quirimbas Archipelago) proves the role played by small coastal villages in the early development of the Indian Ocean trade route. In this paper, we discuss the result of a lead isotope analysis performed on samples of two coins and some…
Un asa romana de bronce y plata procedente de la villa de Huerta del Río (Tarancueña, Soria)
Se presenta y analiza una pieza romana excepcional de bronce y plata hallada en los niveles superficiales de la villa tardorromana de Tarancueña (Soria) durante la excavación arqueológica de 1979. Esta excavación constituye hasta ahora la única referencia científica sobre dicha villa, dado que las excavaciones posteriores, mucho más amplias, no se han publicado y su documentación está perdida. Tanto los datos de 1979 como lo poco que se conoce de…

Archaeology of the Jesuit Missions of Ethiopia
Judith and the Dragon
In the 2014 excavations at the Jesuit church of Gorgora Iyäsus on the northern shore of Lake Ṭana a remarkable relief in stone was unearthed. The relief was originally part of the church’s façade. It represents the biblical heroine Judith over a dragon and it contains two inscriptions in Gǝʿǝz from the Book of Judith and Genesis. This piece represents one of the few recorded inscriptions on stone from the end of the Aksumite period to the present…
Enlivening the dying ruins
A summary is presented of the recent archaeological research led by the University Complutense of Madrid on the residences and monuments of the Jesuit missions in Ethiopia, most of them built at the end of the Mission period, between 1621 and 1632. The paper examines the known mission sites in turn, concentrating on the most important ones located in the region of Dembya, north of lake Tana. The emphasis has been put on the contrast between the i…
The Azazo Project
In this article we discuss the motivations, aims, and preliminary results of working with a local community in Ethiopia. Trying to escape from the (neo)colonial archaeology that is still practised in Africa, this project aims to achieve a cooperative and participative archaeology. This work with the community has been one of our main priorities in our last seasons, and although we have focused on elementary school and university students, we have…

Using stone tools
A Late Stone Age sequence from West Ethiopia
In this paper, the results of the test excavations in two rock shelters in the Central Ethiopian escarpment near the Sudanese border are presented. A continuous sequence of quartz lithic industry, from the lowest levels of K’aaba (with an archaic MSA-like industry of side-scrapers, Levallois- discoid cores and unifacial points) to the upper levels of Bel K’urk’umu (with a LSA industry, characterised by elongated flakes and end-scrapers, that stil…
The Neolithic site of Haj Yusif (Central Sudan)
Informe de la excavación de 1989, que incluye la descripción y análisis preliminar de la cerámica, útiles líticos y fauna. A pesar de su condición alterada por ocupaciones posteriores, en el yacimiento se han podido detectar dos áreas con distinta proporción de motivos decorativos en la cerámica, lo que implica diferencia funcional o, más probablemente, cronológica. El asentamiento parece haber sido de corta duración y corresponde a un grupo past…
